As I saying, what I've asked certainly the Northern Territory government to do in this instance—in reference to Senator Thorpe's question—is to ensure that they do meet with the Aboriginal organisations and both the Aboriginal children's commissioner at the Northern Territory level and the national children's commissioner, which we put in place here because we are concerned about our First Nations children right across Australia. And that is important. This parliament supported that and endorsed that because we know that, by having that position in place, that commissioner at the national level could look out for our children.
