Survivors say the findings of misconduct against the former governor general Peter Hollingworth mean he should be stripped of his $357,000-a-year pension and lucrative taxpayer-funded entitlements.

The Anglican church’s complaints process on Monday made multiple findings of misconduct against Hollingworth over his time as Brisbane archbishop in the 1990s, when he allowed two abusers, John Elliot and Donald Shearman, to remain in the church despite knowing they had sexually assaulted children.
