Suspended priest allowed to return to work following investigation

A Perth priest suspended over allegations of historical abuse has been allowed to return to work, although he won’t be going back to his old parish.
The Catholic Church on Wednesday confirmed Father Tom Shields had been ordered to stand down in August while police investigated an accusation made against him. Church leaders alerted police after a complaint was made about Mr Shields, who was based at St John the Baptist church in Perth.
