VICTORIAN Premier Daniel Andrews has backed moves which would see clergy sex abuse survivors travel to Rome to face Cardinal George Pell as he gives evidence at a Royal Commission hearing.
Mr Andrews said while he accepted Cardinal Pell may be to ill to travel for the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, it didn’t stop him from meeting with survivors.
“If Cardinal Pell is too ill to travel then fair enough, I am not going to quibble with that if that is the fact of it,” he said.
“However, let me be very clear about this, Cardinal Pell had ought to make time for anybody who travels to Rome to see him.”
