Brisbane archbishop blamed for 1980s abuse

A royal commission has been told that an incumbent Anglican archbishop was partly to blame for putting a boy in the bed of an abusing priest.  A victim of child sexual abuse has blamed the now-Brisbane Anglican archbishop for putting him in bed with the perpetrating priest.
Giving evidence to a royal commission in Hobart on Wednesday, the 52-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons recounted how he was raped in January 1981, then aged 17, at Triabunna on Tasmania's east coast.
