My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. I refer the minister to the 'Deadly Choices' program run by the Awabakal Newcastle Aboriginal Cooperative, which empowers young Aboriginal people to make healthy lifestyle choices, and has yet to receive information on government funding past 30 June of this year. Given that the organisation will have to terminate this program due to funding uncertainty, can you advise the Senate of what impact this will have on the ground for young Indigenous people of Newcastle?
