A coalition of sexual abuse survivor groups has urged the Prime Minister to strip former governor-general Peter Hollingworth of his taxpayer-funded pension and entitlements.

 

Dr Hollingworth became governor-general in 2001 but was forced to resign in 2003 after a series of scandals over his handling of sexual abuse allegations against priests and teaching staff while he was the Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane in the 1990s.

 

The group argue that Hollingworth betrayed the public and should lose his $357,732 annual pension.
