Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in the Newcastle Anglican diocese day 11

3.49pm Justice Peter McClellan has just told the royal commission that a group of Newcastle Anglican parishioners, including Caddies, wrote to the Royal Commission on April 13, 2016, complaining about Newcastle Bishop Greg Thompson giving evidence at the royal commission.
The letter includes: “Our concern relates to the behaviour of, and statements made by, the current bishop...”
Naomi Sharp: “Firstly, you say that you are gravely concerned that Bishop Thompson apparently took no action in relation to his own abuse?”
Caddies: “Yes.”
