I remember their excuse being they did not feel it applied to them as an Organisation. I hope it is forcibly shown to them that if they do not voluntarily compensate victims to a higher level than the redress Scheme would, then the State will take action to make sure the JW Org pays up some other way.
The whole thing springs from the fact that they never felt "it applied to them as a an Organisation" to do the Morally Right thing and protect the vulnerable, and if that failed, to Report straight away to the Authorities.
They are an Organisation lacking Morals and basic human empathy and compassion.
They only care about $$$.

Compensate the victims and survivors and have them make a public apology in the media and on JW.org .
Has ARC and all the media coverage has it affected the number of active JWs in Australia ?

I don't think so. Almost all JWs will show their loyalty and support to jw.org with greater respect than ever before. They have been told that Satan is the one behide this negative news and how they need to stand firm against all his lies, especially those that attack Jehovah's earthly organization. It would be so sad if any JW were to think that the redress scheme is set up to help and support victims.
