My question is to the acting Prime Minister, and I refer to the government's decision to scrap the cashless debit card, which the Alice Springs mayor has said will increase domestic violence. Kununurra local, Kenneth Green, called the card a 'lifesaver' and Wongatha elder Janice Scott said:

The biggest difference was for the kids. Suddenly they had food, they had clothing …

Given the warnings from local Indigenous communities, can the Acting Prime Minister guarantee there will be no increase in domestic violence or neglect of children as a result of scrapping the cashless debit card?
