Quote from the link above:
" The inquiry will target institutions that have failed to safeguard victims. It will extend far beyond the Catholic Church and other religious orders that have been the focus of sex abuse concerns in the past."

Actually some of those wanting the Catholic church investigated have said they are surprised this is happening so quickly... by the looks of things, Steven Unthank can take some of the credit for this. I noticed Nick Xenophon's name popping up a bit too. He was trying to get the Australian government to crack down on cults around a year ago. He has also been making quite a bit of noise about the Scientologists... and the JW's from time to time over their shunning policy. Always loved that man.
What I love the most about this Commission is that it's investigating everyone including the police. We all know the Watchtower's policies when it comes to co-operating with the law... that is sure to highlight just how dangerous those policies are.
Only good can come from this.

That link is easy. Let's all love bomb Julia Gillard for agreeing to this Royal Commission.
Mine was similar...
Just wanted to send a huge THANK YOU for agreeing to investigate this matter.
As someone who was raised Jehovah's Witness and has since come to know many people who are shunned by their own families for leaving their religion while their families still speak to the person who sexually molested the one they shun (combination of both their 'two witness' and shunning policies) I am grateful to see this issue getting the attention it deserves.
You are awesomeBrinjen

Whether they specifically investigate the Watchtower or not (I can't see them not... both Victoria and New South Wales have their own inquiries happening as well too) in the very least I can see changes to the law taking place. The aim of this Royal Commission is to prevent children who have been sexually abused being ignored by those who are supposed to be helping them.
I know the Northern Territory government made changes to their mandatory notification laws a few years ago... now anyone who has information about domestic violence or child abuse is required by law to report it to the police. They don't care if they get 50 people calling in about the same incident... you can't assume someone else already reported it and you have to call them yourself. Of course, not very many JW's in the NT but still wonder how they took the news...

Yup. Wonder what the apologists will have to say about the findings of this one... given that they are investigating ALL religious organisations, as well as non-profit organisations and even the police. Persecution?
