The Commonwealth will carefully consider the royal commission's 85 recommendations. The government thanks the royal commission for its painstaking work in developing recommendations traversing policing offences, prosecutorial practices, evidence, judicial directions and other means of informing juries, delays, sentencing, appeals and considerations relating to juvenile offenders. Many recommendations including those conceding mandatory reporting relate primarily to state and territory legislation, and so will largely be matters for those jurisdictions. The government will continue to work collaboratively with the states and territories in responding to the royal commission's recommendations.

Question agreed to.
