The media and spectators are already lining up to ensure a seat in the Melbourne court room where Cardinal George Pell is expected to appear later on Wednesday.
Security has also been stepped up outside the Melbourne Magistrates Court, hours before Pell is scheduled to appear for a filing hearing.
The queue started forming before 7am, more than three hours before Pell’s scheduled 10am hearing.
The court has made no special arrangements for the appearance despite Pell’s high profile and the intense worldwide media attention.
More than 70 media, including many from international organisations like CCN and The Telegraph in London, are already in place outside the court in central Melbourne and have spilled onto the roadway.
