The government does not support this motion. Indigenous legal service providers in all states and territories operate forms of custody notification service. The Aboriginal Legal Service New South Wales/ACT is the only provider ever to have received additional funding for its service in 2015-16. ALS NSW/ACT will receive over $17 million to provide Indigenous legal assistance in New South Wales and the ACT. This level of funding should enable the ALS NSW/ACT to continue its custody notification scheme.

Question agreed to.
