Protocol requires that the Governor-General offers his patronage to organisations exclusively. Plan International has 27 other patrons including Perth broadcasters Peter Holland and Greg Pearce. Plan International national executive director Ian Wishart said the charity had severed links with Dr Hollingworth, who accepted an offer of patronage in 1997, because his comments were anathema to its mission of helping children.
It believed they were vulnerable to exploitation by adults, as shown by the prevalence of child prostitution and child soldiers in Third World countries.
"We could never say that it was their fault," he said. "They have always been manipulated, tricked or abused by adults and it is never, ever acceptable to say the child was somehow complicit."
On Monday, the abused woman at the centre of the row met Dr Hollingworth and accepted an apology for his inaction over the case when he was Anglican archbishop of Brisbane. He reportedly told her he had come to realise he had a poor understanding of child sexual abuse.
Meanwhile, a priest who was appointed rector of two parishes by Dr Hollingworth when he was archbishop has been jailed for the sexual abuse of five boys.
The Rev. John Elliott, 60, pleaded guilty in the District Court in Brisbane to 10 counts of sodomy and 18 of indecent dealing with five boys aged 10 to 13.
The offences occurred 29 years ago before he became a priest.
District Court Judge Warren Howell sentenced Elliott to 7 1/2 years' jail with a recommendation for parole after 2 1/2 years. -- with AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATED PRESS
