This afternoon The Sydney Morning Herald hosted a live Facebook Q&A with Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
The questions to which the Prime Minister responded are below.
Question from Justin Luke Jack Reiss:
Prime Minister, when will the Royal Commission into Sexual Abuse of Children begin? Would the government be committed to establishing a secondary Royal Commission if the upcoming one is to uncover systemic Child sex abuse within the Catholic church.
Julia Gillard:
We will announce the terms of reference before the end of the year and the commission will get underway next year. The Royal Commission is about child sexual abuse in institutional contexts. It isn’t aimed at any one institution.
