Very sad news with the passing of Audrey Nash. One of the most courageous women I have ever met. She never faltered in her fight to get justice for the survivors of clerical sexual abuse in the Newcastle #Catholic diocese - including for her own son, Andrew. Her story is in my book #TheAltarBoys.

I played a very small role in tonight’s Compass on ABC TV about former Newcastle Anglican Bishop, Greg Thompson in Adelaide. His bravery and that of survivor, Steven Smith should not be forgotten. Anne Manne’s #CrimesoftheCross is worth a read on this dark history. Catch it on @abciview #Anglican

Flashback ; A very special day in my career. The day we launched #TheAltarBoys at the Newcastle Town Hall with these very special people who helped me write this book. The incredible courage of these families, standing next to me, got me through.
