So I went to New Norcia and my goodness, the, the sexual abuse, um, started over there as well with me. I don’t know that much name, but I seen, and I relived the what happened. And, uh, it was only coming, you know, to get to know Yokai that I’ve been able to heal, um, not properly. There’s days when people don’t see me that I’m in a mess, but they knew about new nausea. Was was capital, like a place of sexual abuse. But they kept on sending us there. So the native welfare was in on this. And the government at that time, they failed me. They failed me as, um, for helping me and giving me a life. They gave me a life of sexual abuse, torment, and suffering. So these people have to pay and they rather pay their lawyers big, big money, but not pay their survivors. Like I say, I’m sorry if I, uh, if I come across vicious, but I’m, I don’t wanna shut up. I don’t wanna, I wanna swear to get my frustration out because I just, I never, ever want other kids to go through what I went through.
