Abuse in state care survivors want compensation

From Morning Report, 7:26 am on 7 December 2022

One former patient of the Lake Alice psychiatric hospital's child and adolescent unit says she feels like officials are ignoring and stonewalling survivors.

But a government official says an announcement about a scheme is expected soon.
