    What do we make of his latest doings in naming a member of the clergy as a part of the Hepworth affair?

    Personally, I think it was a ballsy move, definately "on the edge" of parliamentary privilege. Be interesting to see what evidence comes forth.

    :sad::sad:When violation happens to a child abhorrence’s is and should be the first and only reaction that can or should occur and when it doesn’t I have to look twice at such who do not share the same reaction as I do. Today any morals are none-existing which is very sad. I agree with Nick Xenophon to name and shame, unfortunately those who are of the opinion that anyone has the right to live the way they want, have so far let pedophiles :twisted: live in and around their victims is a cause of more pain. I am feel sad at this time:sad: TCH

    They should let catholic priests marry then we wouldn't have these sex straved priests running around ruining lives.

    JC never said that marriage was not allowed this is a human (people) thing! like so many others in religion and its customs.

    Big call to hide behind PP to name someone that may be innocent.

    Bad move IMO.

    I can understand why he might have felt the need to have done it, but the problem is, this priest hasn't even been charged with a crime, only accused. Innocent until proven guilty. Xenophon has ignored this and decided the public needs to know about this 'dangerous' priest even though he is possibly innocent.

    This is what happens when the churches spend decades covering up sexual abuse.

    Yeah, but it doesn't make it right. They do need to take action though, instead of sweeping it under the rug.
