Nessa Cosgrove (Labour)

I commend my fellow Senator, Nicole Ryan, on her honesty and bravery and for bringing home the importance of not only this Bill but also this amendment. I worked with children and young people in child protection for many years and I could see the shame she was talking about. I could see the realisation that "My house isn't like everyone else's house" and the long-term trauma caused as a result. Senator Ryan is fantastic. That is why she is a great Senator and will continue to be. It is for her bravery and her honesty. I hope this will be considered.
