Shortcut: The Anglican Paedophile Network of Newcastle Australian True Crime
-
- True Crime
This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.
Anne Manne is a journalist and social philosopher.
Her new book, "Crime of the Cross", is about a paedophile network run by members of the Anglican Church in Newcastle in the 1980s and 1990s.
It's made me realise that the shocking details of the crimes committed by the Catholic clergy have almost blinded me to some of the other revelations brought into the light by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse (2013).
This story has many similarities to those we've heard of the paedophile priest cluster in Ballarat, and the measures the Catholic Church went to to silence victims and protect offenders. However, there are also many significant differences.
We urge you to purchase a copy of Anne Manne's book "Crimes of the Cross", which can be accessed by clicking this link.
