Justice Peter McClellan says federal fund, supported by Catholic and
Anglican churches, was most likely to deliver ‘just and fair’ outcome
for victim. The federal government’s refusal to establish a national compensation
scheme for child sex abuse victims is disappointing, Justice Peter
McClellan, the royal commissioner, has said.
In an opening address on Wednesday to a public hearing into redress for abuse survivors, McClellan said it was disappointing that the approach most likely to ensure a “just, fair and consistent outcome for all victims” was not supported by the Commonwealth.
