To coincide with the first anniversary of the publication of the McMahon Report on June 30, 2015, an audit of progress on the implementation of the recommendations was compiled. When Minister Stanton and I published this audit of progress, I gave a clear commitment that the process of implementation would continue, and I was pleased to note the considerable progress made at that stage.

I can now confirm that a further review of progress is nearing completion in my Department, following extensive liaison with other Departments and agencies responsible for implementation. I expect that this review will show significant further progress since last June. This latest progress audit will provide details with regard to the status of each of the 173 recommendations in the Working Group Report and I expect to be in a position to publish it shortly.
