SenateWednesday 9 September 2026

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for Finance, Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Women, Minister for Government Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:20): I thank you for the supplementary, Senator Waters. I don't want to pre-empt that work, but I think Minister Plibersek and others have been very clear about the need to make sure that the support and education that is being provided to young people is relevant, meets the needs of young people and is provided in a way that is useful and informative.

We are very keen to see the outcomes of that review. Obviously, it will also feed into the second action plan. I note that the commissioner's report today identifies early intervention, prevention and the issue of sexual violence being recognised in its own category as priorities going forward.

I think all of those issues are definitely ones that have come up during the consultations I've attended and others have led into the second action plan. The PRESIDENT: Senator Waters, second supplementary?
