Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Minister, I am sad that you do not have the briefs in front of you. If you could provide the details on notice, I would appreciate it. Today it has been reported that one of the SIHIP alliance partners has been sacked, reportedly for not meeting construction targets. Was the purpose of scaling back the scope of the refurbishments simply designed to cut time and money from the SIHIP so the government can pretend that they have met their promises? Do the government place their own image and rhetoric above the needs and comfort of Aboriginal Australians?
