As outlined previously, the Morrison government recognises the plight of victims of thalidomide. The Morrison government is the first government in Australian history to offer both a national apology and a memorial and is actively considering compensation to victims. In that context, the government is working on finalising its response as matter of priority. The government is working assiduously on this.

Question agreed to.
