Daniel Andrews pledges formal apology to victim-survivors who attended Beaumaris primary school in 1960s and 1970s
Allegations of “evil and vile” historical child sexual abuse at a Victorian state school in the 1960s and 1970s will be investigated by a special inquiry that will hear the testimonies of victim-survivors.
Glen Fearnett, who has fought for government recognition of abuse he and others suffered from paedophile teachers, said he wanted to represent victims who had died before the inquiry was announced. Tim Courtenay, a survivor of alleged abuse at the school, said the inquiry was a “milestone” in the lives of all people affected.
