Melbourne Catholic abuse compo to double

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.
