Thank you very much. It is absolutely essential that we are able to ensure the quality and safety of our most treasured Australians. And so a royal commission will be able to outline a confidence for families, with relatives and with friends that we'll throw a light on it in so much as parliament—not government, but parliament—can provide those matters. And, can I say, it was pretty interesting about people being confused about their position. The quote 'I don't know if one is needed' on Tuesday was in fact from Bill Shorten.
