My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. I refer to calls by Mr Warren Mundine, the hand-picked Chair of the Prime Minister’s Indigenous Advisory Council, for more cuts to Indigenous programs, totalling $600 million in the next budgetary round in 2015. Can the minister confirm that the Indigenous programs will take a further hit of at least $600 million on top of the already half a billion dollars of cuts in the Prime Minister's first budget?
