Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I thank the minister for taking that question on notice. One of the key reasons people are held on remand is the lack of stable accommodation that they can return to. That particularly affects the most disadvantaged in our society, the homeless and Indigenous Australians. Is the Attorney-General's Department working with FaHCSIA to develop a bail hostel pilot project that would provide supported accommodation for such people who are not considered a flight risk and for whom the police do not oppose bail?
