All of the senior officers in the George Pell taskforce 'need to resign'

The Institute of Public Affairs' Daniel Wild says given the "egregious miscarriage of justice" in the George Pell case from the very beginning, "every senior officer involved in that taskforce need to resign".

Mr Wild said the handling of the case by justice system in Victoria, and the coverage of it by the ABC "gets to very heart of a significant issue in this country".

"Which is declining trust in our major institutions whether it's the police, parliament, or the media".

He told Sky News host Andrew Bolt the "persecution of George Pell tragically will never end," while the whole process has been a "shocking indictment [on] so many of our cherished institutions".

"An indictment of course on so many in the media, particularly the ABC who have been disgraceful and appalling throughout this entire episode".
