BEYOND Abuse spokesman Steve Fisher believes the state government needs to set aside extra resources to deal with the “avalanche of allegations” that will arise out of the royal commission into child abuse.

“There’s a lot of institutions around Australia at the moment I think would be squirming, and that’s the way it should be,” he said.

“Police and departments like that are going to have to be prepared for what I would call an avalanche of allegations and so forth that are going to come forward.

“The state government is going to have to give them extra resources if they need it to start investigating.”
