My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Indigenous Australians, Senator Gallagher. Last night on the ABC's Q+A program, the Minister for Indigenous Australians, Linda Burney, stated that 'Labor plans to ingrain a body likened to ATSIC in the Constitution'. Given the failure of ATSIC to improve the outcomes, opportunities and hopes of Indigenous people in areas of health, education and employment and the fact Labor supported the abolition of ATSIC, why is the Minister for Indigenous Australians using ATSIC as the basis for the Labor Party's model?
