A SOUTH-WEST victim of clergy sex abuse wants plaques featuring Bishop Ronald Mulkearns removed from Warrnambool schools.
The man, who recently made a statement to police and gave evidence at the Royal Commission, is still a practising Catholic.
He said it was a disgrace the plaques, that recognise Bishop Mulkearns had opened buildings in the region, remained on display.
Those plaques are understood to be at St Joseph’s, Our Lady Help Of Christians and St Pius X primary schools in Warrnambool. One has already been removed from St Pius X primary.
The victim said the child sex abuse Royal Commission released statistics last week that revealed almost 4500 victims of sexual abuse had come forward to report abuse.
