Former ABC boss gives evidence at sexual abuse inquiry.

After an apology in 2010 from the British parliament, a public inquiry is now underway in London into the sexual abuse of more than a hundred thousand children who were forced to migrate from Britain to Australia, New Zealand and Canada from the end of World War II until 1974.

"Child-migration programs were large-scale schemes in which thousands of children, many of them vulnerable, poor, abandoned, illegitimate or in the care of the state, were systematically and permanently migrated to remote parts of the British Empire."

"The typical Fairbridge kid was only 8 or 9 -- and some were as young as 4 -- when they were sent out to Fairbridge Farm School at Molong, never to see their parents again and to endure an entire loveless childhood with nobody ever putting an arm around them giving them encouragement or warmth. You will hear that these younger children were the least protected, the most vulnerable and the most abused."
