News and Media Releases - Forgotten Australians: Forgotten report? Contributor: Project Worker Source: Online Catholics Posted: 8-6-2005 All Catholics should expect and encourage our church leaders towards compassionate and principled actions that will help lift this residual shame from our collective shoulders and consciences. The process might not be easy, but the challenge is clear and our response to these legally powerless victims of institutional neglect should be generous. It should not be a case of us deciding when we have done enough to satisfy them. We need to continue offering until their needs are met. Dr Tony Smith is a political scientist with a special interest in parliamentary matters. He is a Catholic layperson who lives in country New South Wales. His opinion pieces ad reviews have appeared in numerous publications including Australian Quarterly, Australian Book Review, the Australian Review of Public Affairs, the Journal of Australian Studies Review of Books and New Matilda.
