My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. I refer to the minister's previous answer that 'the only real impact' of the government's review into the Tackling Indigenous Smoking program is that 'they are not recruiting additional people'. Given that the national coordinator, Dr Tom Calma, said yesterday that the government has already cut $130 million from this program, does the minister stand by his previous statement? Can he outline the full impacts of the cuts to this front-line program?
