I was a film editor at this time... A great pity that the production credits are not shown. We worked our butts off to get these stories to air, sometimes with minutes to spare. Great to see my old Mate Peter Manning. The reporters and the whole prod. crew were the best times of my working life. So glad to at least see some of Aust. life in the 70's.
It must have been difficult listening to these sorts of stories, I’ve never lived in a life where treating young woman like this was ok. To sit there and listen to the rawness of life back then must have given you shivers. I know I wouldn’t have been able to walk out after listening to that, with any respect for the authority figures.
this is so sad and that doctor should of been charged for doing those sexual examinations and just shows nothing changed for the girls whom were later placed into this institution all the years later and after the system never changed for them at all
Geez, that doctor openly discusses the filth he did, how could he do that, yes he says he believes it is wrong, but he still does it, this is just horrific however I notice this is still being done these days although the wording is a little different, women can be any age and labelled with "challenging behaviour" after removing themselves and their children from domestic violence. The agency can go back over a persons lifespan picking out events and claiming that there is significant behavioural problems. The man who has committed crimes, can call "child welfare" or rather as we know it now child protection agencies and make anonymous reports, he can have the mother drugged, and the children taken, it is a good way to avoid paying child support. While the institutions may be said to be closed, they are not, the children's court is still very active in 2018 removing children from all kinds of people. There are almost 50,000 kids in care today, the same institutions are operating that did this, it is the children's court just as it was then, and the state agencies that operate as the moral compass of all of these mother's and the father's now as well, are receiving billions of tax dollars in funding to remove children. The parents can be any age, the state is judging adult citizens, under the false guidance of child protection without any criminal charges, it is a racket today as much as it was then.
I am so sorry Alex Gibson I am sure that left scars on you, it was a terrible system then and remains a terrible system today. I will just pop it over on a group and let more people see the wheels keep on turning, thank you for your bravery to speak out
I really dont understand how child proyection fits into this as its a totally different way of manipulating people ....ultimately all of this is wrong and whom ever creatted this kind of barabaric rules must have been some prey mentally disturbed individuals.....
These places, along with Mittagong and the notorious Tamworth, contributed appallingly to the pain and poverty of our culture - _true communities_ do not treat children in this cold and brutal way.
Why is it NO YOUNG MEN r EVER put through this? Only woman. Out of the 2, who can have babies? Only women. I don't understand how we can do these things to each other. I really don't. God bless these young women, and have mercy on the folks that thought this is a good idea.
That is simply incorrect boys were put through just the same if not worse but its still going on in the prisons the abuse continues.....look at Daruk boy home,Mt Penang and the results of the royal commision
wow,I do only jus recall some of my bothers girlfriends talking about girls home my Mum would never allow them to take us kids away to a place like that how horrid for them ..my inlaws both went to a girls home as their Dad committed suicide and their mum was in a bad way,pretty bad to be punished for your dad dying..thankyou how the other half live...
Get a photo of the girls in Hay we were kids the people that worked in these places wernt happy in thier lives some ones telling lies here the man in the beard
i was there for being in morel danger ,for 9 months and i was in danger from wendy clarke and her sharpy criminal hanger ons, when i was incarcerated , i had no fear from the co.s if you behaved i was never in a position of being a victim from the authorities it was the inmates who posed the threat and abuse
@@jlord9638 yes for certain i was there two years ago and especially amongst younger kids the accent seems to be getting more americanized (and alot of australians are very unhappy about it).

As the narrator said .... "It didn't matter if the government was liberal or labour .
That says it all ...
How could they ever condone placing kids into a prison-like Long Bay?
Parrermatter was worse than and so was Hay jail I can vouch for that parents had no say in thier children in thoes days

My mum Wass Parra girl and she told me that she was punched in the stomach as treatment.
