I thank the minister for the update on the Low-Cost Essentials Subsidy Scheme. I know the scheme will make an enormous difference in regions like the Cape York and the Torres Strait, as you outlined. We also know the high cost of food in remote stores is linked to high levels of food insecurity and preventable nutrition related disease. How does this scheme support healthy eating and contribute to positive health outcomes as part of closing the gap?
