Compensation payments to people
sexually abused as children by Catholic clergy in the Melbourne
archdiocese are expected to surpass $31 million after the church doubled
the maximum available payout.
The compensation cap
under the church's Melbourne Response scheme will rise from $75,000 to
$150,000, putting it in line with the maximum payment under the federal
government's planned commonwealth redress scheme.http://www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/melbourne-catholic-abuse-compo-cap-doubled/news-story/37fa6902afc6f116c68b6e1751169bba
