At the same time, Peter Dutton was announcing a pledge to donate $6m to The Alannah & Madeline Foundation which was created in honour of Alannah and Madeline Mikac, who, along with their mother Nanette in the Port Arthur massacre in 1996.

The foundation works to prevent violence against children.

Dutton:

Every parent’s nightmare is the worry that your child will end up in a difficult or traumatic circumstance because of an interaction online, which is just devastating for a family. There are many examples of this. I want to say that very much a thank you to Walter as well for his amazing life story, the tragedy that no family should have have to go through, with the loss of his wife and two daughters, and what this foundation has turned into now, in honour of Alannah and Madeline. It is quite phenomenal.

To see what you are doing here and the beautiful people we have just spoken to, it really says to me we have made exactly the right decision.
