My question is for the Minister for Indigenous Australians. Recently your Labor colleagues in the NT parliament—all of whom are Aboriginal people—voted in favour of a motion for an independent body at the Commonwealth level with powers to investigate and enforce change in relation to all First People's deaths in custody. The motion was defeated by the racist CLP government. Do you agree with your Aboriginal NT Labor colleagues that this body is needed?
