Carte Blanche coming up: Autistic children left in the dark for weeks

Translate

The Sunday, 04 October episode of Carte Blanche investigates how hundreds of autistic children were left without electricity for three weeks at a centre specifically designed to support children with special needs.

The children were forced to cope in darkness as government departments reportedly squabbled over who should pay the electricity bill, raising questions about how the situation was allowed to continue for so long.

The investigation examines the impact of the prolonged power outage on the children and asks why their needs were seemingly not prioritised.
