Surviving Victims in Royal Commission Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Case Study 34 have become increasingly disillusioned at the refusal of the Commission's leadership to agree to a second hearing in Case Study 34.
There is new evidence surviving victims would like presented and new witnesses to be called. A number of those witnesses should have been called in the first instance in the November 2015 hearing. That is given these witnesses have very close connection to the case and the schools Brisbane Grammar and St Pauls there should not have been any hesitation in calling those witnesses. A number of the witnesses victims want called currently maintain positions of high authority in Australia, but their title and positions within Australia should not preclude them from being questioned under oath, by the Royal Commission.
The demands by survivors for a second hearing in Case Study 34 have never been met by the Royal Commission.
Victims in Case Study 34 can only conclude that George Brandis, as ultimate head of the Royal Commission is protecting the very people survivors want to be held to account.
George Brandis would almost certainly know from his days working in the Queensland judicial system in the 1980’s who those very people are who have helped cover-up the actions of the perpetrator Kevin Lynch in Case Study 34.
Given allegations of corruption have been leveled at George Brandis in a separate matter, he is now not a fit and proper person to continue leading the Royal Commission.
We have NO CONFIDENCE in George Brandis continued leadership of this incredibly important Inquiry. The inquiry should deliver justice for the surviving victims of sexual abuse and we are now concerned justice will never be served if George Brandis remains as Attorney General.
The Attorney General of Australia should be beyond reproach in this historic inquiry that has impacted hundreds of lives in our Case Study 34 and thousands of lives across Australia in other Case Studies.
Survivors fully support the recent calls for George Brandis to be removed from office as Attorney General. Anything less will now be seen as a cover-up.
We call on the Prime Minister of Australia, the Honourable Malcolm Turnbull, to immediately and without any further hesitation to remove George Brandis from Public Office.
