When @Milliganreports asked me in my #4Corners interview what I felt when I heard what happened to Paris, I said I felt sad. I was sad that Peter Kehoe was allowed to work with children in the first place. I was sad that Paris was subjected to his monstrous, sickening behaviour.
I was sad that when he turned to his school for help, they turned away, and supported the offender instead. I was sad that all of this happened alongside the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
I was sad, but now I am angry. We know that regret is no longer good enough. We know that lying low to the wall is no longer acceptable. I know, from being Paris' friend for 6 years, that regret and lying low to the wall do not heal the wounds that child sexual abuse inflicts.

Thread: Here's some interesting maths, #StKevinsCollege playing fields alone are worth more than $300million, this private asset paid for by taxpayers who subsidise each student $7000 per year.
#StKevins boasts a 5.5hectare private sports ground, the Taroonga Sports Fields, the land owned by the school. Before St Kevins bought the site it was earmarked for high-density housing due to being within walking distance of Tooronga train station. smh.com.au/business/st-ke…
A sq metre of land in Toorak currently sells for about $6000 (similar to inner city Sydney) which makes the value of the land $330million, that is 55000 sq metres x $6000persqm =$330 million. This isn't a public asset like govt schools but a private asset.
