example of how respected institutions can fail to protect children. Following the death of former Governor-General Peter Hollingworth, child protection advocates and survivors of historical abuse have renewed calls for stronger national safeguards to protect children and hold institutions accountable. One survivor whose case played a central role in Hollingworth's resignation said he should be remembered as a “sad example” of a senior figure who received significant honours while failing to respond adequately to allegations involving clergy. The comments reflect ongoing concern about how institutions historically handled abuse complaints and the lasting impact on survivors. Peter Hollingworth resigned as Governor-General in 2003 after sustained public scrutiny over his handling of abuse allegations during his time as Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane. His broader legacy remains divisive, with supporters highlighting his work on poverty and social justice, while critics point to the need for stronger accountability in child protection. Advocates say Australia has made important progress through the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Abuse, but stress that continued reform is needed to ensure children are better protected and that survivors receive appropriate support and recognition.
