People in Australia are talking about Catholic Bishop Wilson, who fought against the ill treatment of convicts 140 years ago. He is to be exhumed from Nottingham Cathedral, England, and flown to Hobart Cathedral, Australia, in 2007. "Bishop Wilson's campaign against the ill-treatment of convicts was extremely effective. He personally lobbied senior politicans in London and succeeded in getting the worst of Australia's penal colonies - Norfolk Island - closed. He also campaigned against the use of the lash and partial suffociation torture on convicts."
