Latest News About Former governor-general passes away in Melbourne at 91

Former governor-general and archbishop lost his life in Melbourne at 91, with reports noting he resigned as governor-general in 2003 after controversy over his handling of child sexual abuse cases in the church; a 2023 inquiry found misconduct in allowing abusers to remain in the church but declared him still fit to serve. The church review later stated Hollinghurst was cleared for ministry, while his death ends a long public debate about his legacy. He previously served as Anglican archbishop before his resignation, and his passing draws renewed attention to Australia’s handling of abuse in religious institutions.
