My question is to the Prime Minister. Over the last 12 months Senator Jacinta Price, a proud Indigenous woman, has led calls, Prime Minister, for a royal commission into child sexual abuse in Indigenous communities, and an audit of spending on Indigenous programs. These calls are supported by many other Indigenous Australians, and as Leader of the Opposition I've offered to work with the government to implement these measures. Why is the Prime Minister refusing to take these important, practical actions to address serious issues facing Indigenous communities?
