The government is committed to the implementation of recommendations made by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. However, it must be noted by the Senate that many recommendations deal with redress and that their acceptance requires the agreement of the Ministers Redress Scheme Governance Board, made up of responsible ministers from Commonwealth, states and territories.
