I again refer to the Children's Commissioner's report that cited precisely the same footage shown on the Four Corners report, in which a youth justice officer says, and I quote: 'Go grab the'—expletive—'gas and'—expletive—'gas them through'—expletive—get Jimmy to gas them through here.' Given that there is demonstrably no 'huge gap' between the Four Corners report and the Children's Commissioner's report, will the minister now accept he misled the Senate and correct the record?
