P. Ms Letter to non subscibers to Redress Scheme
by jonahstourguide inspotted this article this morning.
i will try to post a link.. jtg.. australia.. institutions refusing to join the national redress scheme are "doubling down" on the crime of child sexual abuse, prime minister scott morrison says.. mr morrison and social services minister anne ruston have warned institutions they may lose funding and tax concessions if they fail to sign up by tuesday's deadline and will be named and shamed.. "all institutions are doing in not joining is doubling down on the crime and doubling down on the hurt," they said in a letter to 25 institutions.. "we consider it to be reprehensible that you have failed to sign up to the scheme.".
the jehovah's witnesses is among the organisations that has refused to sign up, arguing it does not have the institutional settings of other faith-based institutions that the redress scheme is designed to cover.. senator ruston is set to name the non-participating institutions on wednesday, when she will announce what action the federal government will take against them.. "we urge you to join the scheme not because of concerns about being identified, but because it is the right thing to do," the minister and mr morrison said.. "it is the right thing to do by survivors and their families and it is what every, decent, honest, australian demands.".

states and territories urged to go far beyond name and shame threat against 'recalcitrant' institutions in abuse redress schemeby political reporter matthew doranposted 7hhours agodean smith stands at his desk in the senate, gesturing while speaking into a microphoneliberal senator dean smith said victims of child abuse deserved more than just a threat to name and shame institutions.
(abc news: jed cooper)sharestates and territories are being urged to not only shame institutions which refuse to sign up to the national redress scheme for victims of child abuse, but also name senior officials and the levels of public funding the organisations receive.key points:a federal parliamentary committee has recommended institutions which fail to sign up to the national redress scheme for abuse victims be named, their officials identified, and public funding outlinedcommittee chair dean smith has written to the states and territories urging them to adopt the proposalsocial services minister anne ruston said all jurisdictions would need to agree if such a proposal were adoptedlast week, a federal parliamentary committee made up of liberal, national, labor and greens members unanimously recommended identifying "recalcitrant" organisations ahead of the june 30 deadline.this week, the committee chair, liberal senator dean smith, wrote to state and territory attorneys-general escalating that demand and encouraging them to adopt the proposal.institutions have until the end of june to sign up to the multi-billion-dollar scheme, aimed at compensating victims of child sexual abuse, before the federal government publicly names them for holding out.so far, 545 applications for redress have been delayed because 284 non-government organisations are yet to join the scheme.senator smith suggested it was not enough to simply name the holdouts, and argued the committee wanted explanations on why they were not signing up, names of office holders in the institutions, what date they expected to join the scheme and the financial benefits received through public funding or their charitable status.
