"Australia government says NO to children having the right to seek assistance from the United Nations for human rights violations"

In December 2011, the United Nations introduced the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a communications procedure.  Three years down the track Australia is still refusing to sign the protocol.

What this means to thousands of young children, is that whilst Australia agrees that children have rights under international law such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the government is not allowing these children to go direct to the United Nations with their complaint of human rights violation when the government is the perpetrator.

Furthermore, the Australian Human Rights Commission has completely refused to acknowledge the childs right not be taken away from their parents against their wishes - by not even acknowleding this in their Children's Rights posters.  So the Australian government is chosing to only tell children what they want them to hear.  Well it reinforces the fact that they are still refusing to allow our Australian victims of the child protection racket any opportunity to take their grievances to the UN now doesn't it.

Considering what is coming out of the Royal Commission into Sexual Abuse of Children by Clergy and other Australian Institutions it is not surprising to find our very own Government denies this country's Children the protocol. After all for over 200 years now our Government have themselves abused Australia's Children by the 100's of thousands. Children have also been used as produce/fodder to the Government Services sector /stakeholders and Church institutions. The Commissioner of the Royal Commission has stated > Australia will be shocked ! In NSW over 500 Foster Carers are investigation for sexual and physical abuses of Children in State Care NSW and 8 Paedophile Foster Carers have been charged recently , including a DoCS manager from the Hunter and another that has Fostered over 300 Children. So why would our Government or the Human Rights Commission allow Children to inform/contact the UN. Kept them hidden behind the big locked doors is their motto.
