Prime Minister, you're a strong supporter of local government. Federal assistance grants used to be distributed to help the most disadvantaged local council communities based on the SEIFA index. Fairfield council in Fowler is rated as No. 1 by the index. However, the previous New South Wales Liberal government changed the definition of 'disadvantage', resulting in funds being diverted to more favourable seats. What will your Labor government do to fix this inequity so that funding is prioritised for disadvantaged communities under SEIFA?
