Order of Business

I am coming to them. We know that the church has been harsh in instances in the past that involved people who reported untoward events. We have all condemned that and, thankfully, it has taken its own action but the hurt has been huge. The point arising from the various incidents across society is that whistleblowers who, in the national interest, report matters need to be protected when they report an illegality. This is something on which more action is needed and I look forward to hearing it.
