## Resource

Former Australian Governor General Peter Hollingworth, who also served as Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane, has passed away at 91. Appointed in 2001, he resigned due to controversy over his handling of sexual abuse cases within the church. A board of inquiry found he failed to act on abuse reports, allowing abusers to remain in their positions. Hollingworth acknowledged mistakes and apologized, with the current Brisbane archbishop issuing a statement acknowledging past failings. In Sydney, police investigate a shooting that left one dead and four injured. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
