I refer to the Children's Commissioner's report, which was made public, published in September 2015, that cited precisely the same footage shown on the Four Corners report—precisely the same footage—in which a youth justice officer says, and I quote partially: 'No, let the'—expletive—'come through because when he comes through he will be off balance, I'll pulverise, I'll pulverise the little'—expletive. Does the minister still stand by his statement that there is a 'huge gap'?
