This report describes a very sorry chapter in Australia’s history. It exposes the role of both the British and Australian Governments in bringing child migrants to this country. This report stands as a tribute to them all: for those who had the courage to speak to the Committee; for those who have contributed to the Australian community over many years; and for those who have not survived. But perhaps the most significant monument to former child migrants is that by telling their stories for this report, child migrants have ensured that this will never happen again.
