‘Never, ever forget’: Daniel Andrews rules out Cardinal Pell state funeral
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has ruled out holding a state memorial service for the late Cardinal George Pell, saying he can’t think of anything “more distressing” for “victim survivors”.
“I think more importantly, what will be a very challenging time for victim survivors, to send the clearest possible message that we see you, we believe you, we support you,” Mr Andrews said during a media conference on Thursday morning.
“And you’re at the centre of not only our thoughts not only our words, but our actions.
“We should never forget – never, ever forget – that predator brothers and priests were systemically moved around knowingly, was part of a strategy from one working class parish to the next.”
