AUSTRALIA/MALTA
Times of Malta
Christian Brothers in and around Perth in Australia are to review child-abuse settlements considered unjust and unreasonably low by the victims, including some from Malta, a Royal Commission has been told.
The commission was considering institutional responses to child sexual abuse, which took place mostly in the 1960s.
During the hearings, the commission heard evidence, including by Maltese men, of relentless rapes and beatings they suffered when they were boys.
As the hearings ended yesterday, the order announced it would provide lifelong psychological counselling to abuse survivors.
