Despite falsely asserting that the minister did not know about abuse at Don Dale, can the minister confirm, first, that the Northern Territory government released the Vita report, an internal review of youth detention in the Territory in February 2015; second, that the Children's Commissioner released its report detailing the mistreatment of young people in youth detention in September 2015; and, third, that he was briefed by his department by way of a question time briefing, and he still did nothing?
