My question is to the Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs. Minister, given the concerns that you have recently expressed for Indigenous families in Central Australia, particularly in remote communities, why was your department’s recommendation to establish one of the 65 family relationship centres in Alice Springs ignored by the government, leaving only one centre in Darwin to service the entire Northern Territory?
