Labor acknowledges the sentiments driving this motion, including the tragic loss of Daniel Morcombe and the need for all children to be protected from child sex offenders. It was to further this objective that Labor established the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in 2013, which made 409 recommendations for how to better protect our children. The royal commission did not recommend creating a publicly accessible national child sex offenders register, as Senator Hinch is calling for. We in Labor will be guided by the recommendations of the royal commission.

Question agreed to.
