Comedian and musician Tim Minchin is still overwhelmed one month after he released a satirical song that urged Cardinal George Pell to return to Australia from Rome and face questions by the Royal Commission into child sex abuse.

The song raised enough money and publicity to send the Ballarat survivors of child sex abuse to Rome and watch George Pell answer questions, after he stated he couldn’t come to Australia because of illness.

Minchin says the song, ‘Come home, Cardinal Pell’, was produced in a single day and is one of his greatest achievements.
