1Mediawatch for 28 July 2024 Mediawatch looks at how the media reacted to the Abuse in State Care report - and the role the media played in bringing the issue to light. [Sunday 28 July 2024, 09:08]
2[The House] MPs on the Abuse in Care report The moment the Abuse in Care Report was tabled in Parliament MPs began debating what it means and how to respond. Every week Parliament is a smorgasbord of stories and issues, many of them interesting and most of them impactful, but sometimes one event or issue in the week dwarfs every other. This week that issue was the tabling of, and initial debate over the report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care. The report is nearly three thousands pages, spread across 16 volumes. Crucially it includes 138 recommendations. The speeches on the report in the House took an hour and three quarters and were compelling. A number were particularly thoughtful and honest and ideally should be heard in their entirety.
