Child Sexual Abuse

The Hon. L.A. HENDERSON (14:48): My question is to the Attorney-General regarding compensation of victims of child sexual abuse. Has the Attorney-General written or spoken to federal ministers or his state or territory counterparts to advocate for access to offenders' superannuation for victims and survivors of child sexual abuse, and when did he last request an update on this issue from his federal counterparts?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:49): Yes, I have a number of times. The most recent time would have been in the last few weeks.
