Summary
Details

A true story stranger than fiction. An Irish Catholic nun fled her convent in Wagga Wagga, fearing murder by her mother superior, and sought refuge with the Orange lodge, sparking a sectarian conflict in Australia. Declared sane by the Lunacy Court after her bishop had her arrested, she sued him for damages, attracting national and international press. Parliamentary demands for an inquiry into Catholic convents led to threats of violence. When her brother kidnapped her in Sydney, police intervened. His uncharged departure prompted a censure motion that nearly toppled the Labor government.
