YOUTH JUSTICE

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [9.49 pm]: I rise tonight because I want to talk about an issue that I think is very important and that is the Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern Territory, which delivered its final report this month on 17 November. That particular report made some very extensive and, in many cases, horrific findings. I want to talk about some of the findings in relation to youth detention and I will discuss the issues as they pertain to child protection at a later date.

ROYAL COMMISSION INTO INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSES TO CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [5.26 pm]: I rise tonight to make some comments about the commonwealth redress scheme, which has an implication for this state. Members may know that on 26 October, legislation was introduced into the Australian Parliament to establish a commonwealth redress scheme for institutional child sexual abuse. The establishment of a commonwealth redress scheme was one of the many recommendations that has come out of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
