Heard the strangest thing yesterday . The ABC was provided with a specific document justifying the stand of the Catholic church as if it was the adjudicator of a debate our forefathers would clearly say that should be left to the Royal Commission and the courts .
Subtle, but serious problem of perspective .
Sure its Ok to provide perspective but really the real issue is this . The church dares to try and look after children noone else does, so they can never meet the expectations of the standards brigade at ABCchurch. I won't listen to their pontifications till they do a four corners on the subject and put it in context .
If we really think children's interest are important they should not be left to the quick fix of TV and media angst .
Just how mi focused this attempt to trap the devil could be in highlighted by the naive and misguided false expectation that a ,or any, Royal Commissions will , by their very nature , solve the problem of child abuse . Nearly as dumb as thinking churches are the only ones trying to pick up the pieces of o mum or dad .
I mean like the RC will solve the problems of the department of human services in each State -
How Much DHS would give for the TV solution - if it worked !
