THE decision by Prime Minister Julia Gillard to establish a royal commission into child sexual abuse has the backing of almost every Australian, according to a Fairfax/Nielsen poll.
The poll shows 95 per cent of voters support the royal commission, while only three per cent are against it.
Nielsen poll director John Stirton told Fairfax he could not recall a poll issue ever receiving such universal support.
The royal commission, which will inquire into all institutions, not only churches, has the support of all political parties, state and federal.
