My question is to the Prime Minister. People with disability suffer far higher rates of violence than the rest of the community. Ninety per cent of women with intellectual disability have been sexually assaulted. Children with a disability are at least three times more likely to experience abuse than other children. Will the Prime Minister support the establishment of a royal commission into violence and abuse against people with disability? I acknowledge the advocacy of the Disabled People's Organisations Australia, VALID, AFDO and other community organisations who have called for this royal commission.
