Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu has hinted at an inquiry into sex abuse within the Catholic church.
Police first revealed on 7.30 Victoria last July that dozens of suicides were linked to sex abuse by Catholic clergy.
The Age newspaper has revived the case today, citing increased pressure for an inquiry.
Mr Baillieu called it a “significant cause for concern” for the Government.
He says the Cummins Inquiry on protecting vulnerable children recommended further examination of the issue. But he stopped short of promising an inquiry.
