THE royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse will be "the most expensive in the history of royal commissions", according to a key member of the Australian Law Reform Commission's review into minimising costs of public inquiries in Australia.

Scott Prasser, the executive director of the Australian Catholic University's Public Policy Institute and member of the ALRC reference committee during its 2009 review of inquiry expenses, said the abuse commission would cost "at least $100 million".
