I, and also on behalf of Senators Collins, Lazarus, Wang and Lambie, move:

That the Senate—

(b) acknowledges That the Department of Immigration and Border Protection has referred all allegations of abuse involving children in detention, including those evidenced in the report, on an individual basis to police for investigation and action;

(c) respects the independence and integrity of the AHRC and its mandate to promote and protect human rights in Australia; and

(d) expresses its support for, and confidence in, the AHRC and its President.
