Summary

Former Australian governor-general Peter Hollingworth, who passed away at 91, served as Anglican archbishop in Brisbane before becoming vice-regal.

Beth Heinrich, a survivor, shared her experience of feeling rejected and distressed by his handling of her case. Hollingworth resigned in 2003 due to ongoing controversy. His legacy is mixed, with some acknowledging his social justice advocacy, while others highlight his misjudgments in abuse cases.
