BREAKING THE CONFESSIONAL SEAL

Those who confess child abuses to priests are no longer protected by the confessional seal in South Australia. Under new mandatory reporting laws, priests will now be compelled to report child abuse to Police or face fines of up to $10,000. Is this a sign that religious exemptions are becoming out of date? HHG Legal Group’s Managing Director, Simon Creek, joins Channel 9 News Presenter Tracy Vo, to discuss this enormous cultural and legal change.
