Order of Business: Motion. - Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse: Statements.
I welcome the establishment of the redress board, but my views on its role have changed. There is a duplication of work arising from the separate roles of the board and the commission. I understand why they were constituted separately and that to combine them would require new legislation. That might save much time. We could then deal with sampling in the context of the other two issues. It would save time and ensure people receive justice, a hearing, vindication and compensation. That is the way we should proceed.
