Bindoon is a town from Perth city on the Great Northern Highway within the Shire of Chittering.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Main Roads WA Distance from Perth )〕 The name Bindoon is thought to be Aboriginal in origin and to mean "place where the yams grow". The name has been in use in the area since 1843 when an early settler, William Brockman, named the property he had surveyed as Bindoon. The townsite was gazetted in 1953. ==Christian Brothers' establishment== The locality is most notable for the Catholic Agricultural College at Bindoon, which was previously called Keaney College after its former principal Br. Paul Francis Keaney,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=College History )〕 who deployed young child migrants as forced labour to construct the college's huge stone building. The name was changed after revelations of institutionalised cruelty to Australian and migrant children.〔Welsh, L. P. (1990) ''The Bindoon file'' edited by Bruce Blyth. P & B Press, Perth, W.A. ISBN 0-9596606-6-6 (pbk.)〕 In 1989, Senator Jean Jenkins, the Australian Democrats senator for Western Australia, raised the issue in the nation's Senate on behalf of the Child Migrant Friendship Society of Western Australia and a number of individual former child migrants who had asked for her support.〔(Senate Adjournment debate, 17 August 1989 ) at Parliament of Australia〕 In 1994, the Parliament of Western Australia was presented a petition with 30,000 signatures which demanded an inquiry into the sexual and physical assaults that took place in Bindoon. Other institutions run by the Congregation of Christian Brothers in Castledare, Clontarf and Tardun were also named in the petition.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ABC Lateline Transcript - Sins Of The Brothers )〕 The child abuse that took place at Bindoon is alluded to in the 2011 film ''Oranges and Sunshine'' which portrays the dedication of British social worker Mrs Margaret Humphreys in seeking justice for child migrants. In December 2014, a royal commission found that "Christian Brothers leaders knew of allegations of sexual abuse of children at four WA orphanages, including Bindoon, and failed to manage the homes to prevent the systemic ill-treatment for decades."〔Banks, Amanda, Legal Affairs Editor. "Christian Brothers cop blast", ''The Weekend West'', 20-21 December 2014, p.11〕〔(Report of Case Study 11 ) Media release, at official website, 19 December 2014〕 It also found that the institution was concerned by the cost of legal proceedings, and "there was no sentiment of recognising the suffering of the survivors."〔(Report of Case Study no. 11 - Congregation of Christian Brothers in Western Australia response to child sexual abuse at Castledare Junior Orphanage, St Vincent’s Orphanage Clontarf, St Mary’s Agricultural School Tardun and Bindoon Farm School ) PDF at official website, 19 December 2014, p. 13 (folio 8)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bindoon, Western Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
