Ray Hadley condemns John Howard and Tony Abbott for 'gross errors of judgment' on George Pell | michaelkoziol
, in which he praised the Cardinal as "a person of both high intelligence and exemplary character".
"It's impossible to put ourselves in the position of the jury because they're the only ones who heard that evidence," Hadley said on air on Thursday morning.Alex Ellinghausen"There's no mention of any victims in Mr Howard's reference, and I think that doesn't bring any great credit to the former prime minister," Hadley said.
"He could have offered a reference about his knowledge of George Pell prior to the conviction ... but he hasn't done that. He's gone way beyond that. I think he's over-stepped the mark." "They hide their crimes. They con their victims. They con the victims' families. Paedophiles con their families, their friends and their colleagues," Hadley said."Mr Howard and Mr Abbott in my opinion have shown a complete lack of understanding of victims of paedophiles. Not just in the case we're talking about now, but generally."
