Justice Peter McClellan AM was the chair of the Royal Commission and worked with the five other Commissioners, Mr Bob Atkinson AO APM, Justice Jennifer Coate, Mr Robert Fitzgerald AM, Professor Helen Milroy and Mr Andrew Murray. On 12 November 2012 the then Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, announced that she would recommend to the Governor-General that a Royal Commission be appointed to inquire into institutional responses to child abuse.įollowing this announcement, the Terms of Reference were established and six Commissioners were appointed on Friday, 11 January 2013 by Her Excellency Quentin Bryce, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia. The Royal Commission was only the start and has published a final report that has 17 Volumes. Many members of the legal fraternity are also raising issues themselves as the problem is now out of control. And as I have reported in the last few posts it is not just members of the public that are raising issues of judicial failings and corruption. Justice Peter McClellan is also a NSW Supreme Court judge and it is almost unheard of for judges to criticise their follow judges so it is a big call. The Royal Commission handed its reports and recommendation to the federal government in December 2017 and that will be dealt with this year and everyone should keep a close eye on it as people in the background and some in the media such as Alan Jones who will go to work to try to undermine any reforms.Īs I have previously written: In a speech on the 13th of April 2017 the Chairman of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, The Hon Justice Peter McClellan AM, raised issues regarding the failure of judges and prosecutors to do their jobs properly and therefore fail victims of child sex abuse. Social media has also had a huge hand in empowering people to raise complaints. Over the next year or so it will be a huge issue as the government deals with the recommendations of the Royal Commission and as more people have become empowered by the Royal Commission to raise issues that have long been hidden or covered up. Make no mistake the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse was only the tip of the Iceberg.
