Well known personalities who have passed away recently (Renamed)

Peter Hollingworth, retired former Anglican archbishop and former Governor General, has passed away, aged 91.

 

Hollingworths later career was dogged by accusations he did nothing to prevent pedophiles from operating within the Anglican Church. He admitted that he was poorly prepared to deal with the problem, and thus did nothing about it. 

He was personally picked for the G.G. job by John Howard in 2001 - which smacks of a "job for a mate" to me - but Hollingworth resigned from the G.G. position in 2003 as the protests about his lack of dealing with the Anglican Church pedophiles, became louder and louder.

He only resigned his Anglican priest status in 2023, officially to "end distress" for Anglican church abuse survivors.
