NSW Supreme Court judge Peter McClellan has been appointed to head a royal commission into child sexual abuse
Prime Minister Julia Gillard made the announcement as she outlined the details of the inquiry, which was approved by Governor-General Quentin Bryce today.
”It is clear from what is already in the public domain that too many children were the subject of child sexual abuse in institutions,” she said.
”And that too many adults who could have assisted them turned a blind eye so that they didn’t get the help that they needed.”
