My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. I take this opportunity to say how delighted I am that Senator Scullion has been elevated to the front bench. I wish him a long and illustrious career in that position. Is the minister aware of the recent release of a report by the Queensland government highlighting Indigenous disadvantage in my home state of Queensland? What steps is the Australian government taking to assist Indigenous people to overcome this situation?
