CRIMES from the past need to be judged on today’s laws, NSW Legislative
Council Member David Shoebridge said on Wednesday as he hosted a public
forum on historic sexual abuse at St Stanislaus’ College.
While local politicians were invited to the forum, Mr Shoebridge did not invite anyone from Stannies. “I don’t believe you should give the same rights to the survivors and institutions that abuse them. It’s a false equivalent and inappropriate,” he said.
