	Description:		Nearly three-thousand experiences have been heard in 133 days of public hearings, and more than a million documents received. It’s been five and a half years since the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care was established – to investigate the abuse of children, young people, and vulnerable adults within state and faith-based institutions. Over the years, the Inquiry’s heard from countless survivors, government heads and church leaders. Common themes have included significant sexual, verbal and physical violence, over-medicalisation, isolation and unsanitary conditions. Finally, the Inquiry’s final report will be released publicly today after it’s presented in Parliament. Senior Investigative Reporter Michael Morrah has been covering this inquiry since it started, and joins us today on The Front Page.
