          <by role="member" id="4846">Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:29):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Is the Attorney-General's decision in the wake of the Rice review to establish a significant incident reporting unit outside of your department an admission of your failure and that of your department?</text>

It is a decision of the cabinet, and the consequence of the cabinet decision is that six recommendations given by Mr Rice have been completely accepted by the government. and indeed we have outlined—I won't repeat them again—the three extra areas of oversight to ensure that his recommendations are complied with and are undertaken successfully to ensure the outcomes that he has recommended, so there is no decision of me as Attorney-General.</text>
