The Northern Territory government has welcomed the establishment of a royal commission into its child-protection and youth-detention systems. The royal commission will look at the causes of systemic problems and the failure of officials to identify and correct them, and report back next March. It follows media reports that revealed the serious abuse of children detained at the Don Dale Youth Detention Centre outside Darwin.
