High-profile child sex abuse victims advocate Anthony Foster will be honoured with a state funeral.
Mr Foster’s wife Chrissie was on Sunday offered the service to commemorate a man who “quietly and profoundly changed Australian history” and she accepted, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said in a statement.
Mr Foster, 64, died on Friday, reportedly after a major stroke.
He became a relentless advocate after his daughters, Emma and Katie, were raped by notorious abuser and pedophile Father Kevin O’Donnell at their Melbourne primary school between 1988 and 1993.
