FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A special inquiry investigating sexual abuse at a state-run children’s hostel has begun hearings in Katanning, in Western Australia’s great southern region.
The inquiry follows the jailing of Dennis John McKenna, who sexually abused boys at St Andrew’s hostel where he was head warden from 1975 to 1990.
The inquiry has already held six days of hearings in Perth, where witnesses gave evidence about McKenna’s reign of terror, including enticing boys with alcohol, lollies and X-rated films before abusing them.
Phillip Urquhart, counsel assisting the inquiry, said on Thursday that 13 witnesses would be called in Katanning.
He said the inquiry would hear from victims and parents, including a man who, at the age of 17, was the one who, with the support of his family, brought McKenna to justice.
Mr Urquhart said before that, McKenna had been able to hide behind a “veil of decency and propriety” for years while he abused boys.
He said some of McKenna’s victims were driven to suicide as a result of the abuse.
Retired Supreme Court justice Peter Blaxell is heading the inquiry to determine the extent of the abuse and whether there was a cover-up in the 1970s and 1980s that allowed it to continue.
McKenna was jailed for six years in October last year after pleading guilty to sexually abusing six boys, aged 13 to 15, in his care.
He had been jailed for six years in 1991 for similar offences.
The inquiry is expected to be completed by April, with a report presented by May 31.
