Version 0 of 1. Prime Minister Julia Gillard on Monday ordered a nationwide investigation into allegations of sexual abuse of children in state and religious institutions and community groups after a string of accusations against priests and claims of a cover-up by the Roman Catholic Church. Last week, the New South Wales State premier ordered an inquiry into accusations of a sexual abuse cover-up by priests in a region north of Sydney. Victoria State officials are also investigating a series of sexual abuse allegations involving priests in their state. |
