The Minister's speech referred to the sexual abuse of children by members of the clergy. I support his endeavours in this regard and I agree that he needs to take time to deal with the matter. He is correct that nobody is above the law as, for too long, people have hidden behind canon law. I appreciate the Minister's line that we will not allow that to happen again and he can be sure that he is supported by Senators on this side of the House in that regard. All of us must hang our heads in shame that we allowed such abuse to take place over such a long period. I am glad that people are coming forward to tell their stories and I hope they receive the help they require. Equally, I am pleased that the perpetrators of such terrible crimes will be dealt with properly and that they will no longer be allowed to hide behind closed doors.
