I rise to thank all members for their contributions on this bill. I've just been reading the second reading speech from the Minister for Indigenous Australians where he spoke about Indigenous overcrowding and how it's a real issue for Indigenous Australians. He also spoke about the $5.4 billion that the Australian government has invested in helping Indigenous Australians in solving overcrowding since 2008. It is a real issue, and I support what the minister had to say on that in his second reading speech.

I commend the bill to the House.
