Aren't the Howard people are gone or outside the boundary now?
I don't think it's had a redistribution in 15+ years, so any change since the Howard era is because of demographic shifts and population movement.

The report is told over 17 volumes — its length reflecting the exhaustive process which included 57 public hearings and 8,000 private sessions.

About 4,000 institutions were reported to the royal commission, which heard from 1,200 witnesses over 400 days of testimony.

More than 2,500 people have already been referred to police.

the catholic church’s response to the royal commission is nauseating

denis hart, melbourne archbishop, has said he would not break the confessional seal if someone admitted child abuse to him; he fears excommunication more than failing to report a child sex offender to the police. love that moral authority
