The Greens are pleased to have successfully secured an additional parliamentary sitting to scrutinise the Government’s response to the Commission of Inquiry
I also take the opportunity to acknowledge the commissioners and their support staff and administrative staff.
I will continue with my comments about the commission of inquiry and talk about this Government's culture of secrecy.
Mr Speaker, I recognise the victims/survivors and advocates who are in the Chamber or who are watching online.
The proposed youth justice facilities model released last year indicates that the detention facility will also be for remand.
The failure of the State Government – in particular the Minister for Children – to recognise and urgently respond to ongoing human rights abuse at Ashley
Mr Speaker, I want to acknowledge the victims/survivors and their families who are present today and watching online.
Individual members are not responsible for resourcing the recommendations or drafting the laws that are required; it is you and your Government who are.
Victims/survivors have waited years for this day and have huge anxiety about the report that is about to be tabled.
Its crucial an extra sitting week is added to the Parliamentary calendar to ensure the government's response receives the scrutiny it demands
