26985 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Lead Coordination Minister for the Government's Response to the Royal Commission’s Report into Historical Abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions: What advice, if any, was the Minister provided regarding how the changes to the redress system for survivors of abuse in care announced on the 9 May 2025 meet the United Nations Committee on Torture's 23 July 2023 recommendation to provide survivors with full redress, including compensation and rehabilitation?

Hon Erica Stanford: I received advice on both the ICCPR and the Torture Convention specifically in the context of the Lake Alice Torture Redress scheme and more generally in the context of redress.
