Jerry Buttimer: The Senator cannot have it both ways. I agree with the Senator on the issue of restorative justice for the women in the report Opportunity Lost.

Jerry Buttimer: I have one last question which is linked. Professor Pajkrt spoke about the regulatory system that is in operation. I ask her to explain the regulatory regime.
