These documentaries always get me fired up. The system failed these kids and it's about time someone called it out. Justice for Gloriavale survivors 💪

same here mate. kept to themselves. creepy as.

Grace Patel2026-06-30T20:01:19.000Z

Yeah nah, I'll believe it when I see actual consequences. Another doco, another round of outrage, nothing changes. ffs.

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T20:26:19.000Z

exactly my point. nothing ever happens. just more trauma porn for the media.

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T20:11:19.000Z

just watched it over breakfast. gut wrenching. how do these people get away with it for so long?

Always knew something dodgy was going on out there. Good on Julie Christie for shining a light.

yeah nah get stuffed. if it was your kids you'd be screaming for justice too.

Sam North2026-06-30T20:37:19.000Z

what a load of shit. leaders knew and did nothing. lock em up I say.

Tom Harris2026-06-30T20:49:19.000Z

read the article properly. they did have consequences, just not enough.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-30T20:44:19.000Z

Sending love to all the survivors. You are so brave for speaking out ❤️

Grace Patel2026-06-30T21:02:19.000Z

cope. We've heard it before, seen the documentaries, then everyone moves on until the next one.

Mason Young2026-06-30T21:00:19.000Z

Wait wait wait - the dad admitted it on camera? And he's still walking free? This country is a joke sometimes.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-30T21:12:19.000Z

Doesn't surprise me one bit. Lived near there for years, always got weird vibes from that place.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-30T22:05:19.000Z

Facts. This isn't about being a joke, it's about protecting the vulnerable.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-30T21:22:19.000Z

It's not just Gloriavale though - look at all the institutions that failed kids. We need a royal commission or something.

Leo McKenzie2026-06-30T21:42:19.000Z

too right. systemic failure from top to bottom.
