Landmark moment today with Ballarat’s Catholic Diocese admitting to their knowledge and therefore liability re: Ridsdale’s offending post-1975, in the Victorian Supreme Court. This case involves one man, assaulted as a 9 yo boy in Mortlake in ‘82. Likely to be many more to come.

Government is "considering its position" on establishing a parliamentary committee to oversee the redress scheme according to a spokesman for Social Services Minister Senator Anne Ruston.

Organisations that haven't joined the national redress scheme will be named and shamed by the Redress Scheme Governance Board in the new year federal and state ministers have decided #redress @abcnews

[Samantha Donovan @SamDonovanABC]

27 of the 35 Catholic Church dioceses and archdioceses are joining the national redress scheme the federal government will announce today. Archdioceses of Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney are among them. #redress @abcnews

[Samantha Donovan @SamDonovanABC]

The Catholic Church has confirmed it isn't entering the national redress scheme as a single entity as intended but dioceses and religious orders will sign up individually. Church says its change in approach is necessary due to the staggered entry of states.
