Louise Milligan, you are a champion! Thank you for making this program available worldwide. It is the clearest, most comprehensive and powerful telling of "the evil that men do" in protecting wealth and status by perpetuating horrendous suffering.

@milliganreports.bsky.social has done a brilliant job (as always) with this #4corners report: she is explaining complicated issues in understandable ways. I can’t even imagine the legal scrutiny her reporting, as is being broadcast right now, had to survive 😬🤯😱 Ms Milligan is a national treasure.

Please watch Monday 8.30 ABC #4Corners: Christian Brothers Inc. Deep dive into Catholic order adopting litigation strategies more akin to a corporation than a religious body. Did expecting survivors to line up like creditors in a corporate collapse happen in a vacuum? I went to Ireland to find out.

Thank you so much. I loved writing Shellybanks. I miss them all living on my shoulder! Oh and please spread the word. Yes, there is another one coming. I’m 15 chapters in. Actually have COVID and feeling grim so last night was up writing as it takes me out of myself. It’s going along at a gallop. ❤️

I often think about lawyers who do this defence work all the time for so many of these entities and I wonder what it does to a person. I have spoken to some who have left this sort of practice because they couldn’t live with themselves.

Louise Milligan @milliganreports.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

All of this sheds significant light on this statement tonight from the Christian Brothers that victims/survivors are their highest priority, given they are seeking an urgent stay on all current proceedings by victims of child abuse against them because of their terrible financial situation.

Louise Milligan @milliganreports.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Question for the Christian Brothers: Exactly how much property did they transfer without monetary consideration (ie, for free) to EREA, half of which of its billion dollars in revenue comes from taxpayers? A pertinent question, given EREA refuses to give the brothers enough funds for compensation.

Louise Milligan @milliganreports.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

3. The lawyers for the Christian Brothers noted that their entity was separate from the Catholic Church and EREA. Note: EREA became controversial after my 4 Corners story on St Kevin’s College and was found wanting by the Victorian schools safety regulator. St Kevin’s ultimately broke away from it.

Louise Milligan @milliganreports.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

2. EREA, The #Catholic organisation which took over all Christian Brothers schools in 2007 (and to which the Brothers transferred assets), has revenue of $1 BILLION. The Brothers have asked EREA & the Catholic Church for money to help pay abuse claims, but says sufficient money was not provided.

#LAW THREAD: Breaking: 1. Lawyers for the Christian Brothers told legal reps of clergy abuse survivors today they’re facing liquidation and will run out of funds by September this year after paying out $66 million last year paying victims and survivors. So they’re seeking a creditors’ scheme. BUT…

We at 4 Corners are very proud that last night we won the Walkley Awards' Women’s Leadership in Media Prize for our story, Scarred, on #endometriosis surgeon Simon Gordon. We thank all the patients and doctors who spoke up to help us tell this awful history and make change. Women deserve better. 💪

I have been contacted by SO many women today. About so many male academics.

Louise Milligan @milliganreports.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Please don’t reply to this about his identity as I want to protect the women. But I know there are many academics on here & I’m curious to hear via direct message if you know who I’m referring to, to know if this behaviour has continued at the #university. I feel queasy every time I see him quoted.

Louise Milligan @milliganreports.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

I wasn’t in a position to investigate it as I was deep in another story, but the women were distressed. The harassment they alleged had a needling, persistent, odd quality. The man holds himself out to be a top expert. I haven’t worked on this story, but have seen some evidence of his fixations.

THREAD: 1. Some years ago women academics contacted me unsolicited on Twitter (which I no longer use) about an academic in Melbourne. They’d made complaints to a faculty head about the man’s targeted, obsessive bullying of women colleagues, including First Nations women. The university kept him on.

Thanks to the beautiful people of Williamstown who came to Willy Lit writers’ festival today to hear me talk to ABC colleague Sarah L’Estrange about Shellybanks, which sold out at the festival today. So grateful for the support of my fiction. Love these community events & the people I meet at them.

Someone came up with an absolute cracker, which is “Clown gefrühstrückt”, which literally means “breakfasted on a clown” but is used to mean a very badly-dressed person and I love it so very much and it’s going into the novel.
