Full horror of Neerkol revealed at hearing

A more detailed and distressing picture of what went on at a central Queensland orphanage decades ago has been revealed by a national inquiry.  A stock whip wielded by a young man paints bloody stripes across a small boy's bare back while several nuns and dozens of children watch on.
Another boy is locked in a cramped cupboard for an entire day without food or water. His crime? Wetting the bed. A nun drags another child to the priest's quarters and tells him to be a "good boy", before the man who has supposedly committed his life to god forces him into unspeakable acts.
