My question is to Senator Evans, the Minister representing the Prime Minister. Yesterday the minister refused to repudiate the disgraceful comments made by Labor Senator Crossin in relation to the number of children saved from sexual abuse by the coalition’s Northern Territory intervention on the grounds that he had not seen the senator’s comments. Has the minister now reviewed Senator Crossin’s disgraceful comments including her latest and more extreme contribution where she now asserts that the disturbing Little children are sacred report never had anything to do with the intervention in the Northern Territory? Will the minister now do the decent thing and repudiate the claims made by Senator Crossin?
