The Federal Government’s revealed the Royal Commission into child sexual abuse will be designed to ensure individual cases of abuse that emerge in the inquiry are investigated by police and prosecuted as swiftly as possible. There’ll be six commissioners on the inquiry, each with three year terms – with an interim report due at the 18 month mark.
