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.
