In responce to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse held in Australia last year, the State government of New South Wales has passed legislation that removes the time limit on civil claims for child sexual abuse. While not applying to the whole of Australia, its likely that the other state will follow NSW's example shortly. For those living outside of Australia, it may be interesting to note that NSW is Australia's largest state (by population) and therefore should cover approximately 30% of the country's of child abuse victims.

The suffering ends when Watchtower is dead. But the salve of justice will help the wounds feel better. -

It will be interesting to see how many Elders are suddenly "spirit-directed" to move out of Australia.

This is almost a complete 180 from what happened in Aus a decade or so ago.
How much you guys wanna bet that there are clergy legal advocates (JW or otherwise) who will try and slow this down as much as (in)humanly possible?
