As Senator Warfield said earlier, most of us are fans of the traditional scene and music. I understand it is growing in popularity and experiencing a massive bounce back, which is fantastic to see. We cannot let our admiration of the art mask or cloud what is happening in that scene. The witnesses have outlined some of the horrific incidents described by the people coming forward from the scene, mainly women. This session is so important for us to listen to that feedback. The witnesses have made some great suggestions for action instead of words and setting up systems and independent bodies, as well as reform within some of the organisations to ensure this type of act does not happen and is called out. The witnesses have listed some of the horrific occurrences, such as rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment and harassment. They mentioned 1,300 stories that came from Dr. Monaghan's work. That is shameful and should not be happening. In what type of settings were the incidents that have been outlined happening?
