Attorney-General's Department

The majority voted in favour of a motion introduced by Victorian Senator Lidia Thorpe (Independent), which means it passed.

Motion text

(1) That there be laid on the table by the Minster representing the Attorney-General statements which detail, by state and territory, the number of:

(a) deaths in custody, including breakdown by age groups and cause of death;

(b) ongoing coronial inquests;

(c) incidents of self-harm in custodial settings; and

(d) miscarriages and stillbirths in custodial settings.

(2) That the statements are due not later than the tenth day after the end of the preceding three-month period commencing 1 January, 1 April, 1 July, and 1 October.

(3) That this order is of continuing effect.

No rebellion

Currently, West Australian Senator Fatima Payman (Independent) is showing up as a rebel in the Labor party but this is inaccurate, as Senator Payman is no longer a Labor party member.
