JULIA Gillard faces growing calls for a royal commission into child sex abuse in the Catholic Church after Labor backbenchers joined the Greens and independents in demanding a national inquiry.
The Greens demanded a royal commission after independent MP Tony Windsor said he would write to the Prime Minister to discuss an inquiry. Former Labor MP Craig Thomson, who now sits as an independent, said he would back any inquiry, while former Liberal turned independent Peter Slipper said the issue was "clearly a matter of concern".
