My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. The secretariat of the National Congress of Australia's First Peoples is based in Redfern, Sydney, in a building leased to it by the ILC. On 20 March, National Congress were advised by the ILC that they need to vacate the Redfern headquarters by 30 April. The new tenant is unable to offer National Congress any space and congress risks having nowhere to go. Given that National Congress have been a long-term tenant and have previously submitted a divestment application for the floor of the building they occupy, does the minister know why they were not considered for tenancy and, if he knows, could he explain why?
