What I have committed to do is what the act has asked me to commit to do, and that is to undertake an independent review that is clearly informed by an independent structured process to get the views of survivors to make sure that anything that goes before the redress board is fully informed by an independent assessment that takes into account the full views of survivors who have been a significant part consultative process. Nothing changes from that. I've given an absolute commitment to this place, and I'll continue to give a commitment to this place, to work through the appropriate processes to make sure that I am listening to the voices of survivors through the most appropriate means, and that is the independent review, not a political discourse.
