UK sex abuse inquiry demands govt pay victims

From Morning Report, 7:27 am on 2 March 2018

In Britain, an independent inquiry into child sex abuse says the Government must pay compensation to people forcibly sent abroad as children in the years after the Second World War. About 4000 children were sent to Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, between 1945 and 1970. Norman Johnson was sent to Australia at the age of 7 in 1950 and says he and other victims want to die knowing justice has been served.
