An abuse survivor says it should be no surprise to the government that Lake Alice survivors aren't jumping up and down with delight.  

The Government's announced it will reimburse survivors' the millions of dollars worth of legal fees from a 2001 Crown settlement.  

It's still considering forms of redress for what happened at the child psychiatric unit, which a Royal Commission investigation found amounted to torture. 

Jim Goodwin told Mike Hosking that while it's a start, the survivors are a cynical group. 

He says they've been mucked around for decades and had to battle for things that should be a right.
