Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Mr MILLS - 2008-06-10

Do you support, or not, the concept that culture can be an excuse for child sexual offences?

ANSWER

Madam Speaker, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question. There is absolutely no excuse that justifies the sexual abuse of children - absolutely no excuse - and this government stands very strong on that particular point in principle.
