What I have asked for is that we come together as a nation to acknowledge that the major reason people find it impossible to report crime is that they know what the outcome will be.

I have not had the chance to inform the Acting Prime Minister yet—but I am able to do so now and, in doing so, to inform the House—that the Northern Territory has today informed me that its police minister and attorney-general will be attending the summit. That is a very positive thing. I spoke last night to the South Australian Indigenous affairs minister, who was also very positive and intends to attend the summit—as does the New South Wales minister.
