A 90-year-old grandmother has told the Royal Commission about the
night her 13-year-old son killed himself in 1974, probably after abuse
by Marist Brothers religious at Hamilton.
Audrey Nash spoke about how the Catholic church she had loved and served all her life had turned its back on her and how a senior figure in the Maitland-Newcastle diocese excused the behaviour of its paedophile priests and religious by saying “it had been going on forever”.
