Welcome to the the real world , the ARC is an Inquiry into Institutional Abuse of Children by Organizations ,and as has been covered , can only recommend action be taken by the Judicial system where they see fit.
The ARC has no power to prosecute anyone itself .If they do make such a recommendation to the legal profession to investigate someone , it can take months or even years for this process to come to an end , one way or another .
The law moves at a snails pace , that`s the reality of it all .
Fisherman , how long has the Catholic Church been in , not only Australia , but the whole world , and they too are only now undergoing this scrutiny along with other organizations ,?
It`s long overdue.
