mmm.... don’t let any bodies truth ever come out ... Federal Police investigating ?

Peter_Fox59 If pell was given one million for his court case just how bad is that-trying to cover dirty deeds done by the Catholic priests more cover ups as usual

'Media reports', 'ABC unable to independently verify reports'. Then where did this story come from? Did someone recount a dream they had?

PELL SHOULD BE STILL IN JAIL. How many of the High Court Judges were Roman Catholic would be very Interesting to Know the Answer

Interesting to see who the Church protects. Medieval approach - not protecting vulnerable people

I said that pell the pedo had vatican backing and was shouted at for weeks. Of course the house of pedos pays for their staff.

pepeMcGee Another example of a criminal business (that doesn't pay tax) trying to influence power and politics. Tax the crooks.

Count on VictoriaPolice to be hot on the trail to cover this......with a pillow till it stops breathing.

He hadn't been convicted at that point. I dot know the rules but why wouldn't they help him out.Their back to paying him again.

Said on another tweet Pell and Scomo are MATES PELLSCOMOMATES

Gee what a surprise. The organisation that created the Mafia is involved in money laundering and funding pedophilia trials.

Disgusting, more Catholic corruption.

Peter_Fox59 Satan really wanted Pell back in Rome

The Catholic Church just another bid business that should be paying Tax

Finally a speck of decency from the abc

About time the truth come out WHEN will you apologize to Pell for the brutal attack?

The ol Mick's covering up their sh.t

If that’s true it’s so wrong and criminal 😡

Meanwhile, the Catholic church provided a reported $5million for Pell's defence.

That’s awkward.

Birds of a feather...

Shock horror 😆. Religion is the pits

So what? It's their money.

Time to tax religion. Enough is enough. auspol

No one is surprised by this information it was expected!

Why has this taken so long to be released ?

Leave Pell alone.

So the victims who complained about Pell in the 1990's (long before Pell was anyone important at the Vatican) were paid to repeat themselves I suppose? Catholics have no shame and no low.

Pell has a lot of info about what happens behind Vatican doors.

Unbelievable....probably paid for the police adverts canvassing for 'victims'

Big story if true, just like the Joe Biden-Hunter Biden-Ukraine-Beijing quid pro quo story, strange the disinterest from ABC, considering Joe Biden's running to be the US President?. There's this too 👇 🤦‍♂️🤮.

I wonder which dodgy bank n Australia they used? The one convicted of 23 million money laundering offences or one of the others caught only doing tens of thousands?

They always cry poor when it comes to compensating victims. 🤢

to pay off the judge?

Trump claims he is 'leading the early vote' | Sky News AustraliaPresident Donald Trump says he would be confident of victory at the 2020 election if it were not for the “tens of million of unsolicited ballots ballots” which he claimed could be easily corrupted.\n\n“They found 50,000 in a river, they found 53,000 in a creek, they found many in a garbage can … and they all had the name Trump on them,” he said. \n\nHowever, he pointed out contrary to Joe Biden’s success in the polls, the early votes revealed he was the favoured candidate for the White House.\n\n“The early votes are coming in in a lot of areas and they are starting to get a little bit nervous on the other side”.\n\n“In Michigan we’re leading the early vote. We’re supposed to be at 20 per cent and then we catch them in the final days like a racehorse.' \n\nReflecting on the 2016 election, Mr Trump said he was down in nine states which he ultimately won.\n\n“They said this will be a very poor day for Donald Trump,' he said. \n\n“Then at the end of the evening you saw them cry.\n\n“15 days from now we are going to win the state of Arizona and we are going to win four more years in the White House.' \n realDonaldTrump Here’s to Justice. realDonaldTrump He is squibbing it already. realDonaldTrump Setting up the excise for if he loses and it will all be forgotten about if he wins. This must be where Scotty gets it from.
