NEWCASTLE MP and former Marist Brothers, Hamilton student Mark
Pearson says Australia must end its diplomatic ties with the Catholic
Church after an unsuccessful attempt by him to have NSW Parliament
condemn the church over its history of child sexual abuse.
Mr Pearson was disappointed that Labor and the Coalition on Thursday refused to support his motion to condemn the church, first raised in October, and instead voted on a motion condemning child sexual abuse in all institutions.
