Latest News About Peter Hollingworth dies in Melbourne at 91

Former governor-general and archbishop died in Melbourne at 91, with reports noting he stepped down as GG 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 suitable for ministry. The church review later stated Hollinghurst was reconsidered for ministry, while his death ends a long public debate about his legacy. He previously held senior roles in the Anglican church before his resignation, and his passing draws renewed attention to Australia’s handling of abuse in religious institutions.
