I'll see if I can provide any further information, but we are putting additional resources into resourcing the dedicated plan—'Our Ways'—to make sure that we are responding to some of the level of needs that are being sought by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, represented by those women's organisations. I've seen the story in the Canberra Times today around decisions they are making with the funding that's sometimes provided through the Commonwealth but also their own funding to put that out to a process for an ACCO, an Aboriginal controlled community organisation, to apply for the money that has been provided, but it really is a matter for the ACT government. From our point of view, we are putting in additional resources that are being provided to organisations and states and territories. If there's anything further I can provide, I will update the senator.
