My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Farrell. The updated strategic directions statement from the National Indigenous Australians Agency, which falls under the portfolio of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, says that it provides advice on whole-of-government priorities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as well as leading and coordinating the implementation of Australia's Closing the Gap targets in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Given we have the NIAA, why does the government contend we need a Voice to Parliament in the Constitution?
