Most recent discussions following the Royal Commission into the scandalous revelations of child sexual abuse have concentrated on the Catholic Church in Australia. However, there is a much bigger picture when both a much longer historical context and results from inquiries in many other countries around the world are taken into account as well.

He is also deputy moderator of Religions for Peace, Asia and a foundation member of the Victoria Police Multi-Faith Council.
