An inquiry is underway in Banbridge into historic allegations of abuse of children who were sent to Australia from Northern Ireland as child migrants.
As many as 130 children, some as young as five, arrived under a child migration program that ran from the 1920s until the 1970s.
Some were allegedly sexually abused while in Australia.
Among those attending the inquiry is the former mayor of Subiaco, Tony Costa.
Now 73 years old, Mr Costa was only 11 when in 1953 he was sent to Bindoon Boys Home, in Western Australia, run at the time by the Catholic Church's Christian Brothers.
Speaking from Belfast, he's told Brianna Roberts the inquiry is long overdue.
