00:02A little life lost, now the catalyst for change.
00:07The NT's Child Protection Minister preparing for an expansive review into the system.
00:12Every Territory child deserves to be safe.
00:16We need to get to the bottom of what's broken and what needs to change.
00:20This review is about the whole system, the culture, the resources, the practices, the laws.
00:27Protecting children is central to our plan for a safer, stronger Territory and there is more work to do.
00:33The full scope of the review to be announced on Monday.
00:37I think what we need to do is to understand that if we don't address these issues then children won't
00:43be safe.
00:44We can't walk away from some uncomfortable truths here but we've got to do it together and we've got to
00:51make sure that everyone is around the table.
00:53Separate to that review, NT Senator Jacinta Numpajumpa-Price reviving calls for a Royal Commission into sexual assaults in remote
01:03Indigenous communities.
01:04But a Coalition colleague says it's not the only option on the table.
01:09I don't want to get hung up on the issue of Royal Commission, not Royal Commission.
01:12I think the key thing here is that we are looking at what's the appropriate policy response today.
01:18Some Aboriginal organisations wary of any knee-jerk political reactions to the tragedy.
01:24We're also really concerned that what we're seeing is a really inappropriate politicisation of a tragedy.
01:30There are people who are hurting and yet people are coming out in leadership positions in government and trying to
01:38do political point scoring as a result of what we've seen.
01:41Still a long road ahead in the search for answers about the circumstances surrounding the alleged murder of Kumijai little
01:49baby.
