I thank the member for her question. I think it's important to understand that that was a malicious criminal act. This is a natural occurrence, one that's been happening since the First Fleet arrived. It's important to understand that, while this is within the state's remit of responsibility—and I congratulate the New South Wales government for the $150 million investment—the federal government hasn't walked away.
