A second supplementary question: Minister, in response to the Senate Community Affairs References Committee report on violence, abuse and neglect of people with disability in institutional and residential settings, the government ruled out an inquiry. Given these horrific reports of abuse, will the government overturn its position and support an independent national inquiry into violence against and abuse and neglect of people with disability?
