Senator McGRATH (Queensland—Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister) (15:46): I seek leave to make a short statement. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator McGRATH: The government welcomes the Australian Law Reform Commission's report. This foundation report was commissioned by the Attorney-General in 2013. Later that year, the coalition became the first major party to go to an election with a specific commitment to take action against elder abuse. Elder abuse may be physical, financial, psychological, sexual or social, and it includes neglect. It often occurs in circumstances in which people are reluctant to report it. It is therefore vital to raise public awareness of elder abuse and options to respond to it. The government supports the motion and welcomes the support of the opposition. Question agreed to.
