00:00This morning I met some of the victims and survivors of this scandal and they were clear
00:06with me that they want action now, not the delay of a further inquiry. The J inquiry,
00:13the last national inquiry, was seven years, which would take us with a further inquiry to 2031.
00:19I think action is what's required. But whatever your view, whatever anyone's view on whether a
00:26further inquiry is needed. What I find shocking is that anyone in this house would vote down the
00:32Children's Wellbeing Bill this afternoon, which is vital protections for the most vulnerable in
00:38our society, and I urge the Leader of the Opposition to withdraw her wrecking amendment.
