I hear what the minister has to say but I do have a supplementary question, Mr President. It goes to whether or not the minister can confirm that the Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs intervened to prevent the grant of funding to Wadeye under the National Community Crime Prevention Program. If the government really is concerned about violence at Wadeye, why has it not acted to support this funding and support the women of that community to do something to stop it?
