As the Prime Minister has said, there are specific recommendations which we are working on with the Northern Territory government, the most important of which is a joint review of children and families funding and services. We are establishing a tripartite commission. That commission will meet in the coming weeks. We are finalising the terms of reference of that tripartite commission with the Northern Territory government. Obviously, we are trying to expedite those terms of reference as quickly as we possibly can. I use this opportunity to say to the Northern Territory government that we look forward to the first meeting of that tripartite committee in the coming weeks, so that we can get on with implementing all of the important recommendations that were made by the royal commission.
