There’s no need for an inquiry into how Victoria Police’s investigation of sexual assault allegations against Cardinal George Pell was made public, Treasurer Tim Pallas says.
Allegations Cardinal Pell abused between five to 10 boys during his time in Victoria were in the Herald Sun newspaper on Saturday, and Mr Pallas said he was concerned the allegations had been made public.
“(But) ultimately we’ve got royal commissions, we’ve got police investigations, if you added inquiries into that quite frankly it’s a bit like a dog chasing its tail,” Mr Pallas told reporters on Monday.
“It’s more important that the substance of the issues are determined and the matters are properly before the royal commission and Victoria Police investigations.”
