Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has again flagged his intention to deliver a national apology to the victims of institutional child abuse along with compensation through a national redress scheme paid for by you, the taxpayers.

Speaking after a ceremony with Premiers Andrews and Berejiklian at Kirribilli House six days after appearing with wife Lucy at the Mardi Gras, Mr Turnbull said the recently concluded Royal Commission ‘validated the stories of the survivors’ and enabled them ‘to be believed’.
