ROYAL COMMISSION INTO INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSES TO
CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE — ANNUAL GOVERNMENT PROGRESS REPORTS
63. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the minister representing the
Minister for Child Protection:
I
refer to the answer provided yesterday to question without notice 47 about the
tabling of the 2022 progress report on Western Australia's
implementation of recommendations from the Royal Commission into Institutional
Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, and to the minister's statement that
she intends to table the report in the first half of this year. Why has there
been a delay in the tabling of the 2022 progress report?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following response has been provided by the
Minister for Child Protection.
Working to the 10-year
implementation program proposed by the royal commission, the 2022 Western Australia progress report marks the halfway point of
the program and includes cumulative progress against the recommendations for the first five years. The progress
report is subject to cabinet processes due to its cross-departmental
responsibilities.
