Abuse investigation leaked to priest.
"The Catholic Church's own investigator of sexual abuse in Melbourne has leaked details of a secret police investigation to the priest under scrutiny.

It is not the first time that it has happened and abuse victims say an urgent review of the way the archdiocese deals with abuse claims is needed.

For 13 years Peter O'Callaghan QC has been investigating claims of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in Melbourne as part of the so-called 'Melbourne Response'.

The church describes him as an independent commissioner but he is paid by the Melbourne Archdiocese."

You can' escape the feeling that the Church still doesn't quite get it ...
