I thank the government for bringing this motion on. Just to remind the chamber what this is about, this is about enabling the apology to survivors of institutionalised child sexual abuse. It's really important. It's only for a relatively short time, for an hour and 15 minutes. I would encourage those senators that can stay longer to stay longer, because survivors are very keen to make sure that people get a chance to talk to them and to mingle and to take part in the activities that are going on around the apology. I encourage senators to fully engage in that apology on 22 October.
