WHEN the Ballarat survivor group arrive at Melbourne Airport, there is one person they want to see waiting for them.
“In all honesty I would like to see Malcolm Turnbull waiting for us at the airport,” said David Ridsdale, who has led the group tirelessly throughout the week of Royal Commission hearings in Rome.
“I’m sorry, too long we’ve been fighting and it shouldn’t be us fixing this. It is an Australia-wide problem. It is everywhere and everybody knew.”
