00:00All industries or businesses have got to look at whether they are doing enough and importantly, do people that come
00:07forward with allegations in those industries or individual businesses, are they supported, are they taken seriously?
00:13I actually think it's a sort of personal issue as well as one for particular sectors. You know, we've all
00:19got to look at ourselves and think, are we doing enough? Are we calling out harmful behaviour when we see
00:24it or are we turning a blind eye?
00:26So there's a cultural point here, but particular industries do need to be looking at, and Lisa has said this
00:31quite clearly, sectors where there are really real power imbalances are where we see particularly harmful types of behaviour.
00:39It goes for politics as well, but Parliament set up an independent complaints process to try and address some of
00:44these issues.
00:45But where those power imbalances exist, it's absolutely right that we push the industry to do more.
