00:00 The need to take money out of the pockets of criminals, that also was something that was mentioned and elaborated last year.
00:10 The notion of gender-based violence and the need to protect our women and young girls was also something that came up.
00:20 The abolition of preliminary inquiries and the use of sufficiency hearings.
00:28 Now, those 39 declarations were distributed amongst some 6 or 7 different stakeholders.
00:39 Police and prosecution, the accused, the courts, the victims, the executive.
00:53 Now, I'm not going to go over these declarations or solutions, because really I think we know them.
01:05 I think that most people in this room are very familiar, not with the declarations so much, but with what needs to be done.
01:15 And the problem that I confront all the time is, well, why is this not being done?
01:23 And I think that that is something that we should ponder upon, sort of taste out.
01:31 The idea that we are going to, this afternoon, create new solutions and identify new solutions,
01:39 this is ambitious, because I think these solutions have been in us for a while.
01:45 People know exactly what needs to be done.
01:48 And yet we are living in a situation which is intolerable.
