CG more power to your arm.
And you are quite right we will see little come from the RC
The Catholic Church as it always has will talk but not act.
Amusing, that some Churches say the Catholic Church is the anti Christ.
Now your words and mine are strong,some will think over the top.
Not so go this morning to your local pub, even bowls club, a majority would offer to buy the bullets for late night clean up of some .

I have not been able to get this thread, its subject, and first directions out of my mind.
Hopefully other who contributed are as baffled as me at the vast difference between our authors first and last post.
Too I hope we all will not turn away if we think some thing may be wrong with Children near us.

I actually spoke with a RC lawyer today from Sydney. I am in hot water for being critical of the RC process and the Term of Reference.
I have made public statements indicating the RC was set up to fail the victims and it will because this woman (Beth) that I spoke with agreed that there would be no individual prosecutions coming out of the RC. Now they want me to give evidence about police failure in my day.
We never failed anyone.We never investigated complaints because our seniors were up to their necks in corruption, extortion and pedophile networks. Any copper that stuck his head out found himself transferred to Broken Hill or walgett or such.
Any ex copper on this thread will tell you we just left it alone.

I have been reading up on the Royal Commission to be more educated on whats going on. (This site causing me lots of late nights :))
The RC state they may be contacted by victims or those with information, by phone, or letter. Supplying detailed and as thorough information as possible.
Chrisgaff1000 it seems you supplied sufficient info.
I dont understand why the RC lawyer would 'blow you off' and twist things, so that you are now the one under scrutiny.
Clearly they must consider yourself a threat in some way. You have taken the opportunity to give them the opportunity to pursue a number of offenders, as is their purpose. Best of luck

And.. I have been following lawyer Peter Kolso's site. One being 'The effects of child abuse/Royal Comm.. 28.3.13. I dont enjoy delving into the past but I do have to tick most of the boxes for that list. Cardinal Pell,' Australias most prominent Catholic' was recently 'grilled for 4&1/2 hours, admitting to the covering up of child sex abuse and destruction of documents.

I believe one RC hearing took place on the 9th of December and another due early Feb. There are also 100,000 applications to be heard, so busy times.

Pell on the suggestion of the RC agrees, a National Fund should be opened which the church will donate to, to pay the large, possibly astronomical amounts of compensation to be revealed. Also there is public pressure for the church to liquidate a large proportion of their substantial real estate holdings. Probably enabling them to solely fund their 'National fund' for victims.

Although well overdue, victims past's will not change. A large sum of money will hopefully help in some way to their happiness and that of their families. And hopefully even more the justice of being heard, listened to and understood, possibly even seeing their perpetrator finally punished

I know this is a little off the subject but just wanted to give it a mention. 'woman suing Woolworths for $1.3 million over sexual harassment'.
The offenses 'occurred Feb to May 2011'. She claims verbal sexual references, 'leering at her bottom' and eventually the male 'grabbing her and pulling her into another room, pulling her close and rubbing his hand down her forearm'. She suffered bruising to her arms.
My question: As an adult woman, why let this go on for four months? Act as soon as the behavior goes beyond friendly banter.
They were both in managerial positions so its not 'big boss abusing underling'. Her lawyer is claiming 'post traumatic stress, anxiety and depression',and compo. of $1.3mill.
This seriously seems over-kill. If the creep is found guilty, fine him, sentence him, announce him to be the idiot he is. Compensation to cover The woman's time off work and have her name cleared as an innocent party. (Im not defending woolies in any way, they're big enough and ugly enough to look after themselves), nor am I defending either employee. Defending rationality and common sense.
