Royal Commission releases final progress report
Last month, the Royal Commission published its seventh and final progress report. The Seventh Progress Report summarises what was a very busy work program for the Royal Commission covering the period from July to December 2022.
The report also notes that between July and December last year the Royal Commission:Â
- received around one fifth of its total submissions in December 2022 (1,700), bringing the total number to 7,944
- held 441 private sessions with Commissioners
- held seven public hearingsÂ
- published four reports
- held a workshop with people with disability about their experiences with air travel. This resulted in the Chair of the Royal Commission, the Honourable Ronald Sackville AO KC, writing a letter to airlines and airports around Australia outlining their concerns.
