I move:

That the Senate—

(a) acknowledges that 4,444 people made allegations of child sexual abuse by members of the Catholic Church, including the clergy, between January 1980 and February 2015;

(b) notes that allegations of criminal misconduct against Cardinal George Pell have been forwarded to the Victorian Office of Public Prosecutions by the Victorian Police; and

(c) calls on Cardinal George Pell to return to Australia to assist the Victorian Police and Office of Public Prosecutions with their investigations into these matters.

Question agreed to.
