My final question goes to the issues that have been so clearly pointed out by you and your department with regard to Indigenous children in the Territory. Do you believe these issues are also prevalent in the states? If so, how do we deal with that? Should we explicitly concentrate on children in a certain part of Australia when the same maladies are present for other children of other races and Indigenous children in other parts of our nation?
