I do understand that, as a result of and connected to the disruption and dislocation of many people across the region as well as the disruption of policing services, there has been a rise in antisocial behaviour in Broome, Derby and Kununurra. Two of these places were never subject to the cashless debit card. Of course, from this side of the House we are going to continue to deliver the supports that people need, including the Minister for Emergency Services delivering improvements across the board to support those recovering and to ensure that those throughout the Kimberley region, including in the East Kimberley, get the supports and services that make a difference and that they need. Importantly, I want to recognise that we have locked in ongoing funding for a range of support services like children's and parents' support services.
