I thank the minister for his answer and appreciate, as I take it, the offer of a briefing. I also note the minister’s answer in terms of breaking the cycle by a radical approach. Why then are no financial management services or training being offered to those who are currently being quarantined? Will people come out of this process with less money management skills than they had when they went into it, seeing the government is now managing their money? Is the government aware of the deep shame that members of the Northern Territory Aboriginal community are expressing very strongly, and how does that connect with the Prime Minister’s words just yesterday:

A future where this Parliament resolves that the injustices of the past must never, never happen again.
