Bill was a child migrant aged 9 -from North London to Australia
In 2010, Bill Malone travelled from his home in Australia to London, to hear Gordon Brown apologise for the child migrant policy that ruined his life. He'd been a bright pupil at St George's Enfield, but had been sent to Bindoon in Western Australia. His education was halted, he was repeatedly sexually abused. I took him back to his old London school, to meet some of the pupils. He told me then that an apology wasn't enough - former child migrants should have compensation. Today the IICSA has said that's what they should have.
