My question is for the Minister for Indigenous Australians. Minister, after the August meeting of the Standing Council of Attorneys-General, the government's little gammin SCAG—more like standing council for Aboriginal genocide—which you attended, the Northern Territory and Queensland governments publicly rejected their Closing the Gap commitments, while other states are clearly not complying. With all the powers available to you as a federal minister to change this, what is your plan now, when it is clear that letters, meetings and 'strongly urging' do not work?
