Survivors, supporters and victims of abuse have released one hundred white balloons in Ballarat.
They gathered for a ceremony outside the town hall after watching Cardinal George Pell give evidence before the Royal Commission for a third day.
A group of child sex abuse survivors who flew to Rome to see George Pell questioned about paedophile priests have given up on him and now need to “speak to the boss” in the Vatican.
After three days of listening to Cardinal Pell’s testimony to the royal commission, the group is angry he still denies knowledge of offending by pedophile priests in Ballarat and Melbourne when he served there in senior positions in the 1970s and 1980s.
Exasperated, the survivors say they are no longer interested in the cardinal’s offer to meet them, but they want him to help arrange a meeting with Pope Francis.
