NORTHERN NSW: Pat Comben, the priest and former Registrar of the Grafton diocese, was central to handling a group claim from people who suffered abuse in a NSW Anglican childrens home. He has announced he is quitting the clergy. Mr Comben had been central to the hard line the diocese took in dealing with requests for an apology and compensation from 42 people who had suffered beatings and rape in the Lismore home from the 1940s to 1984. The commission heard that as the number of claimants increased, the diocese disputed liability, pleaded poverty and cast doubt on the veracity of some of the claims.
