MOTIONS › Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability
Senator LAMBIE (Tasmania) (12:47): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator LAMBIE: The Jacqui Lambie Network is absolutely horrified at this. This is no different to having a royal commission into veterans affairs and putting past secretaries on a panel like that. That would be absolutely horrifying. I cannot believe that you would actually do this in the first place. It's like putting someone that's been abused back in front of their abuser, and it's absolutely horrifying that it's been done in the first place. The PRESIDENT: The question is that the motion moved by Senator Steele-John be agreed to.
