My father saved my life': Tributes flow for child sex abuse victims' advocate Anthony Foster

It was the formidable force of a father's love that spurred Anthony Foster to become a high-profile advocate for child sex abuse victims. Mr Foster and his wife Chrissie dedicated two decades to seeking justice for sexual abuse victims within the Catholic Church.
Hundreds of people packed into the Melbourne Recital Centre to farewell Mr Foster at a state funeral on Wednesday. The 64-year-old hit his head in a fall last month. His family switched off his life support on May 26.
