ROYAL commission chair Justice Peter McClellan accused solicitor
Robert Caddies of leading “coordinated opposition” to Newcastle Anglican
Bishop Greg Thompson during an explosive few minutes of evidence after a
group of senior Newcastle Anglicans complained to the royal commission
about the bishop in April.
In extraordinary letters sent to Sydney Archbishop Glenn Davies and the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, the group that included Mr Caddies and former Newcastle Lord Mayor John McNaughton, questioned Bishop Thompson’s “unsubstantiated” claim he was groomed and sexually abused by two senior clerics, including the late Bishop Ian Shevill.
