Lt Col Charlie Brown I interviewed a VA nurse for my book, "Signs of Hope for the Military: In an Out of the Trenches of life." She said she took care of two women who had been raped. One never did anything about it. She has a child from that rape, and she is afraid she sees her abductor every time she looks at her child. They other pressed the issue with the VA, and they gave her 100% disability compensation, to help raise her child. No charges for the bad guys on either case.

That's awful, but I wonder why they were silenced by the Australian government. I don't see any reason that makes sense at a war crimes tribunal.

Exactly. The article said that the subject was not even allowed during the tribunal. :(
