I visited Alice Springs on the ground just recently, not long after the Leader of the Opposition was there. I spoke to Territory families. I spoke to women's services. I spoke to youth services. In fact, I visited two youth services. Not one single person raised with me the issue of royal commissions into Aboriginal child sexual assault. What they did raise with me was working in partnership, with concrete actions to address this issue, which is unacceptable.
