Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the Attorney-General confirm that the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency and the Central Australian Aboriginal Legal Aid Service are among the organisations that have had their budgets cut? Does the Attorney-General understand that, without access to legal representation, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are more likely to go to jail and for longer?
