… and Peter Dutton - who wants to be prime minister of this country - described *Pell* as unfairly “persecuted” by Labor and attended his funeral. That’s the level of judgment Dutton has, and it is disgraceful - he must not lead this country. #auspol

Catholic Church and Pell supporters have no shame. Thank you @milliganreports.bsky.social for more fantastic work. It is a comfort to others of us abused by senior Catholic clergy to see these clergy and their supporters exposed .

FFS! The sacking of Sarah Macdonald from ABC Sydney is beyond stupid. I held that same shift on "Mornings" before Sarah and, on listening, wish I was half the broadcaster she is.
With Richard Glover & Robbie Buck leaving too - the station is losing its DNA. Good luck in the ratings!!

Catholic Church is hiding behind the law to escape its moral obligation
Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard has drawn attention to the inexplicable finding by the High Court that priests are not “employed” by the Catholic Church.

Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard today weighed in on the High Court's ruling, calling on state governments to act to protect child sexual abuse survivor & hold the Catholic Church responsible for the actions of its priests.
High Court ruling that Catholic Church not 'vicariously liable' for priest's abuse sparks calls for law reform, but will politicians be brave enough to take on the might of the Catholic Church?

Who's responsible? High Court under fire over Catholic Church abuse case
The Catholic Church has won a High Court appeal against rulings it is vicariously liable for the actions of a priest who allegedly sexually abused a five-year-old in 1971, sparking calls for change.

The 2024 Lancet Countdown report warns that climate change is posing "record-breaking threats" to people's health and could be the cause of over 3 million deaths annually by 2100. Today is Health Day at #COP29- the #climate crisis is a #health crisis, and our world leaders must address it as such.
Five ways that climate change threatens human health
Everyone working in health needs to prepare for and be equipped to respond to the health consequences of the climate crisis.

It was then Prime Minister @juliagillard.bsky.social who in Nov 2012 announced the Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse. Those of us abused by Catholic Clergy had a place to be heard. Allan Jones felt threatened by her then 🤔and finally has a lot to worry about now. Forever🙏 our best PM
So........My take on the arrest of Allan Jones.
He is entitled to the due process of the law which is only just starting.
And he should be treated with the same respect and courtesy that he extended to our first female prime minister.

THREAD: This High Court decision in Bird is pretty devastating for cases of many survivors of institutional abuse. To summarise:
* The decision says Catholic Church can’t be vicariously liable for abuse of children committed by its priests. Despite law reforms after child abuse Royal Commission.
