Submissions

The Inquiry received 62 submissions in response to its terms of reference. The period for providing a submission to the Inquiry commenced on 13 September 2022 and closed on 30 September 2022.

Submissions received by the Inquiry are published below with the name of the person or organisation who made the submission, unless the author did not consent to publication, or if there was another reason not to publish the submission (for example, if the submission contained scandalous or defamatory material). Some submissions have been published anonymously because the author requested that the submission be published in this way. Some submissions have been published with redactions (for example, to omit personal information or other irrelevant material).

The views or opinions expressed in submissions are those of the author. Neither the Inquiry nor the Commonwealth adopt or endorse any comments expressed in submissions. Submissions are published to inform the public debate and in the interests of transparency and accountability.

Neither the Inquiry nor the Commonwealth warrants the truth or accuracy of the content of any submission and no person should rely on the content of any submission without undertaking independent inquiries.

To ensure that the privacy of individuals is protected in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988, and that the Inquiry complies with other legal obligations, some submissions are published with certain details redacted (for example, addresses and phone numbers).
