From Morning Report, 7:44 am on 24 September 2019

The National Party wants an explanation on how a convicted paedophile has been allowed to be involved in meetings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Abuse in Care. The Commission says he attended at least one informal meeting of the survivors' advisory group, and was in the vicinity of others because he was with his partner, who is a member of that group. With more we're joined by one of the inquiry's commissioners, and the sponsor of the Survivor Advisory Group, Paul Gibson.
