PARISH priest Fr Kevin Dillon wants St Mary’s Basilica’s Yarra St fence to shout on behalf of victims of institutional sexual abuse.

The acclaimed advocate joined abuse survivor Chris Pianto tying ribbons to the fence yesterday, signalling it had become part of the Loud Fence movement which originated in Ballarat and has gone global.

Fr Dillon urged people to follow the lead by tying ribbons for themselves or in support of victims they might know.

“The invitation is there,” Fr Dillon said.

“Such a simple little sign lots of people can do which over time will bring I think a sense of recognition for people.
