Joanne McCarthy, Newcastle Herald reporter, admitted in the Newcastle
Supreme Court that NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Max Mitchell had
summoned her for a "bizarre" request that "threw" her off and made her
wish she was not there.
Ms. McCarthy said that the Commissioner requested for some tips on how to handle allegations of child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church's Maitland-Newcastle diocese. She said that during the meeting, the Commissioner probed for names and numbers of all the abused victims.
