Senator STEELE-JOHN (Western Australia) (14:14): My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for Social Services, Senator Fierravanti-Wells. Last week Human Rights Watch released a report entitled I needed help, instead I was punished, detailing the abuse and neglect of disabled prisoners in Australia, including cases in which disabled inmates were knowingly placed in the care of convicted sex offenders, forced to wear nappies due to a lack of accessible facilities and disproportionately placed in solitary confinement. In light of these horrifying revelations, will the government now commit to a royal commission into violence, abuse and neglect of people with disabilities in institutional and residential settings?
