Politics. It's weird that some tv commentators here feel compelled
to reminding the Australian public that Pell deserves a fair trial.

Process 'needs to be fair'

Paul Tatchel, a survivor of historical clergy abuse, said the legal system was slow for a good reason.

"Because it needs to be thorough and it needs to be fair," he said.

"One thing that's come out of this is that survivors have to become very resilient to time and appreciate that we have to go through the process.

"And everyone deserves that process."

Andrew Collins, another survivor of historical clergy abuse, said it was a watershed moment for the Catholic Church.

"We have to remember all the way along that he is presumed innocent until proven guilty," he said.

"But we also must remember that there are alleged victims as well that have a story to tell."
