The World Today speaks to Peter Gogarty was abused by a Catholic priest in New South Wales when he was a child, and he’s become an advocate for survivors.
He has strong views about the seal of confession, and made his feelings clear to the State Government in the lead-up to today’s announcement.
He says it should be a criminal offence to do nothing if you suspect a child is being abused no matter what, and that the new proposed legislation goes a long way, but not far enough.
