At last, a wide ranging Australian Royal Commission into paedophile priests was announced by the Government today.
Why it took so long for the Government to come to this decision I will never know. Why Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, only stated his support for it just two hours before the actual announcement, when calls for action were mounting fast and furious, I will also never know.
Now, at last, the victims can have their day in court and tell their stories. The whole country will be able to see the the hypocrisy of the disgusting priests who piously lectured us on our morals and then went out the back and raped young children...
...and I can find something less unsavoury to blog about.
This Royal commission might last several years and we will have to steel ourselves, because the stories that come out in the meantime will be heart-breaking.
