My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. I refer to a joint letter from state and territory attorneys-general, including those from New South Wales, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory. Can the Attorney-General confirm that all of his state and territory counterparts believe the government's proposed cuts to legal aid, legal service commissions and Aboriginal legal centres will 'affect the most vulnerable members in our community, including, foremost, women and children who are victims or at risk of family violence, as well as Indigenous Australians'? Are they correct?
