People with disabilities failed by justice system
27/09/2011
“Last night’s Four Corners program eloquently and tragically outlined the way people with disabilities are failed by our systems.”
“People with disabilities are more likely to be sexually abused, and less likely to be served justice.”
“Last night’s program showed that this has been the case for decades in South Australia.”
“At the end of the show presenter Kerry O’Brien asked if the institutionalised failures of the first St Ann’s case still persisted. Sadly, there is great evidence before us that nothing has changed.”
“We need reform in every area – from protections, to education, to within the justice system.”
“I am upset and angry anew after watching the show. I will continue to fiercely pursuing the reforms that our Governments of the last 20 years have failed to implement.”
