To elected officials

50+ years of coverup of the sexual abuse of children by Catholic clergy across the globe. 7 years since the global acknowledgement of a coverup in a number of countries. In those 7 years the problem has been found to extend to every country on the planet where the church exists. The numbers of abused is estimated to be in the millions.

What happens to a country and a world which has been deceived for more than 50 years by those who supposedly lead the way. The country suffers from the problems which come from and continue to come from the activities undertaken during those past 50 years by the church in its covering up of the abuses.

The response of our government appears to have been to increase its involvements and workings with this socially dysfunctional church and appears to wish to continue in that way without seeking from the church a definitive point in time for the church to respond in an appropriate manner or to give the people of Australia their democratic right to say if they wish to continue to trade with a broken Catholic church.

Without proper intervention each Australian becomes disadvantaged as there is no policy set down as to how our country should deal with the fact that the Church is unable to provide a policy itself while we all understand that is the most basic of things we need from this church so that every Australian child will not have to find a path through the hypocritical life we provide to them whilst this matter remains unaddressed in our society.

When both Church and State fail us on this scale it is the children who suffer first and suffer the most.

The Church and the Government must take positive and appropriate action. It is both inappropriate and dysfunctional for Governments right across the country to continue to trade with this church until we have a clear understanding of how both the Government and the Church make it clear to us all just how they are going to resolve the matter of the sexual abuse of our children by so many priests of the worlds' leading Christian Church.

We obviously see both Church and State repeatedly fail to act in the light of this understanding and in the knowledge of the harm this causes our world and the lives of each of us living it.

Set aside September 1st 2009 as the day the Government and the Catholic Church provide us all with a clear and appropriate set of policies making it clear to us how we can live our lives without these aberrant behaviours from both Church and Government.

Set aside September 1st 2009 as the last day we get to hear our Prime Minister utter the words "This is a matter for the Church" when he speaks of the children sexually abused by clergy.

As an elected official of Australia we simply take your support for granted.
 
 
 
 
 
Elected Members,


On the the issues of childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence through to murder and rape, clergy abuse and its 50 or more years of coverup, the failure of the Catholic Church to appropriately respond; the impacts enforced on a society when its major religion has been found to be wanting and indeed actively working to cover up the existence of the sexual abuse of children by some clergy for an extended period of time.

Indeed it is a dilemma which many would prefer to see remain in the hands of the Church itself. That simply is not an option available to you each as the Premiers of our States; the people have entrusted their right to democracy into your care and your hands.

The options of patch it up or business as usual on this will be seen in the light of history as acts of betrayal blindly carried out by effectively deceived Premiers - "abusers want to make sure there is no action taken". It is abhorrent to consider that we are expected in the light of all that was exposed in 2002 and subsequent to simply continue to go on as if all is well and fine. For 7 years now the Church has said but look at all the good work we do - if only we had more money from the government and the people as though that were some form of payment or justification for the abuses.

What is preposterous is that we are expected to go along with that.

The people of Australia are expected to consider that the Church which has guided our hands through the past how many years, the Church which has moulded our society and set moral standards for all those years hides the fact that its priests were provided access to the most vulnerable in our society for their sexual entertainment.

Kevin Rudd believes it is a matter for the Church and even his trained eye for justice and through his sworn oath to Australia fails to see how in only the most extreme instances there might be a smidgen of a notion that there was some intention in that and that some human rights or even legal rights might have been trodden on.

When it is made a matter for the Church as the Prime Minister has done should we expect that this body he hands us to will provide us with at the minimum a democratic process, a right of appeal and an open and transparent legal system with qualified legal representation based on our Australian principles of justice as well as our right to free speech and fair compensation. Surely our governments would see to that as they do when citizens fall into the hands of failed states across the globe.

The continued trade of any kind by our governments with this organisation called a church does enable the continuation of these outrages to continue both in Australia and in each and every country where this problem exists. This trade by our governments makes each and every Australian by virtue complicit in the coverup and the continuation of the coverup of the sexual abuse of children by Catholic clergy. This is a circumstance which Australians find abhorrent and undemocratic.

Few people support the current response to the clergy abuse issue by the Catholic Church.

2002 saw a global exposure and the beginning of actions in many countries. Australia argued and little but puff came from it. Just as in each of these other countries there are those among the church who have pleaded and wept in the face of their Bishops to no avail. We lived through the years of pontification and the disruption to our progress when the Church in its haste to keep all things sexual hidden it became outraged at the introduction of the Pill and it has repeatedly responded in a dysfunctional manner in regards many other aspects of our lives particularly in regards sexual matters and reproduction. We get to live in the result of 50 or more years of that and scant few politicians can see a problem with that - they struggle to see the human rights abuses in that - all that has mattered is that the Church gets it way by maintaining its coverup of its sickness and its obsessions. Obsessions driven into our society by a Church eventually unable to contain the scope of the problem and yet all we seem to have is the Kevin Rudd response of this is a matter for the Church. How wrong he is - this is a matter for the people - its is a matter for our Premiers to come together and lead else they be seen to be taking part.

Will you as an elected official set a deadline for the Church to provide an Australia wide response?

Will you as an elected official refuse to trade with Church entities beyond that deadline if they are in default?

Will you as an elected official set the deadline date at September 1 2009?

Will you as an elected official work together with our other elected official and Federal counterparts to establish an Australia wide policy for the protection and safety of children in the same time frame set for the Church?

Will you as an elected official enforce the same strictures on any religious authority or entity where sexual abuse by clergy occurs?

Will you as an elected official stand down if you are unwilling to implement these protective measures for the safety of our children?
