We know that there's a problem with police targeting Aboriginal people in this country. We have had over 600 deaths in custody. We know that Aboriginal women experiencing violence are seen to be the perpetrators when they call the cops. We know the target on our backs. We know the boots on our necks from the cops every day in this country. It's out there. It's well known. Incarceration rates, deaths in custody—you name it. Minister, what guarantee do you give to Aboriginal women who will be subject to this legislation?
