I recognise this is a very difficult issue. Access to that sort of information and even premises is a difficult issue because appropriate permissions are obviously required and there are also privacy issues that come into these things. Rather than looking to make specific changes through this process, I go back to the point that even the opposition made a moment ago: we're best to address these sorts of things through a consolidated and considered process, particularly off the back of the royal commission, acknowledging that it is an issue.
