Prime Minister Julia Gillard has hosted a morning tea for victims of child sexual abuse, a day after announcing the terms of reference for the royal commission into the issue.
Victims and their advocates were invited to Sydney’s Kirribilli House to share their stories, and the small group that gathered on the lawn this morning did just that.
They also thanked Ms Gillard for allowing their voices to be heard.
“Upmost gratification. Gratitude to the Prime Minister,” said Pamella Vernon, who attended the event.
