Compensation
payments to people sexually abused as children by clergy could be
increased to more than $100,000 under the Catholic Church's
much-criticised Melbourne Response scheme, a victims' advocate says.
A
review to be released in coming days is expected to recommend lifting
the current $75,000 cap on compensation payments to victims in the
Melbourne archdiocese. Clergy abuse victims advocate Helen Last said the cap could be increased to $100,000-$120,000.
