The Catholic Church has confirmed it isn't entering the national redress scheme as a single entity as intended but dioceses and religious orders will sign up individually. Church says its change in approach is necessary due to the staggered entry of states. More on AM ABC News

Landmark moment today with Ballarat’s Catholic Diocese admitting to their knowledge and therefore liability re: Ridsdale’s offending post-1975, in the Victorian Supreme Court. This case involves one man, assaulted as a 9 yo boy in Mortlake in ‘82. Likely to be many more to come.
