Hasbeen you are far too cynical about the Prime Minister for my liking.
Do you think she personally makes ALL the decisions for all the brown haired, black haired and blond politicians in the Labour Party?
Does that sound like a silly question?
It's about as silly as you constantly referring to our Prime Minister by the colour of her hair.

I admire the current Government for agreeing to hold this Royal Commission at all.
It's almost certain that Abbott and his cohorts would never have started this commission themselves If they were in Government, being as close to the churches as they are.

Of course, they now have to go along with the Government on this because of the outcry of the community if they didn't...

I do agree with Pied Piper though , in that I too smell a rat that suddenly we are having a Royal Commission into every organization that ever involved children, as opposed to starting with one of the most notorious organization for cover-ups... The Catholic Church.
Won't this take simply forever?

amazing how the vile actions of a few priests and BBC presenters make others feel morally superior. Sickening really on all counts. I hope Julia goes as hard at the Pollies. There has been a number in her own party who have been done for the same crimes. The Labour or Liberal party for that matter have done a pretty good job of protecting their own. Logic has it with the promotion of the porn industry, breakdown of the normal family and broken indigenous communities that child molestion is much more common now than ever before. I suppose its easier to go back 40 years than stopping many more from being abused. Its a lot easier than facing the truth of the fruit of porn and the lack of natural fathers.

Oh and Belly, there is nothing to support the notion that allowing priests to marry would stop paedophile priests offending against children.
Like all other paedophiles, they do not find other adults sexually attractive, so what would be the point?
Many paedophiles marry to allow themselves access to stepchildren or even their own children...

While I'm no fan of organised religion generally, I think a Commission is owed not only to those victims who may finally have their voices heard but also to those innocent, decent, hard-working and genuine members of whatever clergies who have been tainted simply by association.

Drag all those guilty ones out into the light and let the rest get on with their lives.

The suggestion that this is just some sort of political distraction is simply appalling and says much about those who like to think in those terms.

Julia Gillard needs to address why she had Michael Smith Sacked from 2UE for asking about her involvement in the AWU fraud of one million dollars stolen from union members.

Julia Gillard also silenced both the Fairfax and Murdoch press from investigating this scandal further.This is not freedom of the press.You would expect this to happen in Zimbabwe or China.

This is Gillard's distraction from her own crimes to make her look like the heroine of integrity.What a farce!

Belly you said:
"This Royal commission has been needed for a centenary at least.
While the Catholic Church stands out many others will be investigated.
I am truly troubled, that these poor kids suffered so very much,and continue to, at the hands of some who claim to be the moral Anchor for us all.
One child is too many, one suicide too many......."

Mate spot on! One of your best posts ever, you mentioned the magic word KIDS, its all about poor little boys and girls who were tormented by these vile animals.
I was sickened to hear Pell wants the police to put out a score card. The ingrate wants it treated as a game, they sodomized 50% more kids than we did. Pell is no better than the scum he seeks to protect.
Pell said he looked forward to statistics showing what percentage of abuse cases the church was responsible for, saying it was not the "principal culprit".
