I move:

That the Senate—

(a)   notes that:

(i)   Aboriginal children make up less than 5 per cent of the general population, but 35 per cent of children in out-of-home care nationally, and more than 50 per cent in Western Australia, and

(ii)   children in out-of-home care experience poor outcomes on a range of indicators; and

(b)   calls on the Government to address the unacceptably high rates of Aboriginal children in out-of-home care.

Question agreed to.
