I thank everyone for coming. I have only two questions. Ms Stephens did not speak but I read her paper, which was very informative. Something she said remains a priority is the establishment of a designated and independent body that is responsible for the oversight of reception conditions. That was recommended by Mr. Justice McMahon. Does Ms Stephens still think this is essential?
