THE former administrator of a NSW Anglican diocese under investigation over systemic child abuse has admitted lying about its capacity to pay compensation to a victim who "derailed" church-led negotiations by seeking independent legal advice.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse has heard a "pedophile ring" of priests at Lismore's North Coast Children's Home raped, beat and sexually abused dozens of children between the 1940s and 80s.
