My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. I refer to the minister's answer in question time on 1 September 2016. When asked about his failure to act on earlier reports of abuse at the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre, the minister claimed there was a 'huge gap' between what was contained in earlier reports and what was shown on Four Corners. Does the minister stand by this statement?
