A Lake Alice survivor understands the frustration at the Government's torture redress.

Eligible people tortured at the psychiatric hospital in the 1970s can take an expedited payment of $150 thousand or apply for independently assessed redress.

Payments will be made between March and December next year.

But survivor Jim Goodwin told Andrew Dickens these people have spent their lives being fobbed off and may feel it's not good enough.

He says this is also being determined by government ministers and heads of government departments – the very people who have fobbed them off.

Goodwin says it seems to him that this won't be the full and final settlement, but rather the $150 thousand is just the start.
