Controversy

Main articles: Catholic sexual abuse scandal in Australia and Marist Regional College

In 2007 Gregory Ferguson, a Marist priest, was sentenced to two years jail (eligible for parole after 12 months) for offences in 1971 against two boys aged 13 at Marist College, Burnie, Tasmania. On 13 December 2007 he was sentenced to an additional three years' jail for offences against a third boy.^[2] While in 2008, a jury found former priest Roger Michael Bellemore guilty on three counts of maintaining a sexual relationship with a young person under the age of 17 years in the 1960s and 1970s, while he was at the same College.^[3]

In 2015, Archbishop Julian Porteous was notified that a complaint had been filed with the office of Tasmania’s Anti-discrimination Commissioner in relation to the distribution in Tasmanian Catholic schools of a pro-traditional marriage brochure produced by the Australian Catholic Bishops, titled ‘Don’t Mess with Marriage’.^[4] The complaint was being treated as a possible breach of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1998 (Tas), and had sparked fierce debate on the issues of freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and tolerance. Because of societies freedom of expression the complaint against was withdrawn.
