The Police Minister said he will be relying on the Commissioner to determine the level of resources thrown at a child sex probe into Newcastle’s Anglican Diocese.
A police strike force was set up in August to investigate alleged child sexual assaults in the Hunter region, dating back 40 years.
It is focussing on the Anglican Diocese, with police urging anyone who has been a victim or has knowledge of a child sexual assault to contact them.
The Police Minister Stuart Ayres said resources will be allocated based on demand.
“I’ll be taking advice from the Commissioner who will be allocated the resources as he sees most appropriate,” he said.
“We allocate our resources based on demand at the moment and so we know that fluctuates.”
