        “Did @ScottMorrisonMP really just ask a room full of sexual abuse survivors to HOLD HANDS with strangers,” one Twitter user asked. Very unfortunate.

        Sure, telling churches they’ve been bad is not good enough. these organisations need to be shut down. they offer nothing that a secular organisation can’t do.

        Incredible that so many people felt that it was more important to protect the image of the church rather than protect innocent children from harmful adults.
