The Australian Constitution does not allow for the making of laws for any religion, so can the naive recommendations of the RC ever be implemented? The vile practices of Islam can be regulated by common law, because we have laws relating to child abuse, age of consent etc., when perpetrators are caught. The same applies to Catholics, if they are caught. But confession and the sanctity of confession, are an internal matter for Catholics, and violating trust in the confessional is unthinkable. Priests have died in the past protecting it, and it is unlikely – even in our steady descent into barbarism now – that we will start killing priests again.

In the secular world, officials - teachers, doctors, and so on , are legally obliged to report cases of child abuse; and most of us not legally obliged would feel duty-bound to report such matters to police.

However, no prosecutor is going to waste time and money trying to prove that someone was lying if the claim that they 'didn't know'.

As for that other silly suggestion (RC's can only suggest) that the Catholic priesthood should be allowed to drop celibacy, how ignorant are the Commissioners that they don't know what the rest of us know: that freedom from celibacy is no protection from child abuse, as is demonstrated in the wider, community.

This Royal Commission, like all the others, is just a trailer load of very expensive manure.

Priests in Communist China can be killed , terrorist Tibetan priests are shot if they don't confess . Celibacy is solved by forced marriages mainly in Mosques of Xinjiang province. CCTV and hidden microphones in Australian confession booths are fed into Beijing's Australian Bribery Committee and funds sent through Commonwealth ITM.

Just so as I understand the new world order.....when Australian companies and corporations bribe foreign entities and companies we do a little hand wringing....when it seems that foreign companies and corporations do it to Australia it's suddenly a political no, no.
There's only one reason Australia gets on with China and it's called 'money'.....any respect shown to China is because of 'money' just as Australia did with the Japanese....it sure had nothing to do with fashion.
So whereas we had the 'red under the bed' we now have 'beware of the yellow peril rising' or the 'Indian desecration of our beloved flora and fauna'
The US has been undermining and destabilizing the Central and South American states, for the last century, but that's alright because they speak English.
Well the Chinese speak Chinese, and they'll be doing it for sometime to come....in and out of Australia....so get used to it

ttbn, the current Australian Parliament has been sitting in flagrant breach(es) of the Constitution Act since the debacle of senators/members holding dual citizenship reared its head. The G-G has not had the testicular fortitude to call it as Kerr did with Whitlam and dissolve Parliament. Why should he, it would affect his retirement strategy at best.

That Baa-baarnaby won again in his by-election and Alexander similarly in Bennelong last weekend means nought, the 1 seat of balance held by Joyce should have triggered the G-G into action. But of course if Joyce fell on his sword it meant much more than just the incumbent government falling. Strange though how the citizenship furore has all but 'evaporated' on the electronic whorehouse.

Turncoat's supporters and backers within the corporate puppeteers, with the likes of Adani, BHP, Rio-Tinto, and many more wheeler - dealers within the ruling Chinese government will be playing it coy for while, until the daily doses of MSM induce another collective stupor within the populace. At which time we'll see another release of rubbery figures to support our ever dwindling MYEFO deficit, buoyed up of course by some under the counter deals...possibly a re-vamped TPP or free trade agreement to take our minds off the real issues.

How else could we miss the creeping fascism? NSW Police now armed with M4's cruising the streets hauling Chinese sympathisers out from under their beds in Cammeray. Border Farce in black uniforms reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930's and many other state police forces similarly clad. With a raft of legislation started under the fuhrership of Herr Howard and A-G Ruddock now coming to fruition with Mr Potato Head at the reins.

Gee...we didn't see that one coming !
