Louise Milligan’s book on George Pell pulled from sale in Victoria

The cover of Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell.

Melbourne University Press has taken steps to withdraw the book Cardinal: The Rise and Fall of George Pell in Victoria.

MUP chief executive Louise Adler said that the book, written by ABC journalist Louise Milligan, would not be sold in Victoria after Cardinal Pell was charged with historical sex offences this morning.

It would remain on sale in other parts of the country.

“Melbourne University Press is taking all reasonable measures to remove the book from sale in Victoria,” Ms Adler said.

She said that the process of pulling the book from sale was “not a simple one” but that it was underway.

The book was released in May and detailed allegations of abuse by Cardinal Pell.
