My question is to the Minister for Justice and Customs, Senator Johnston. Crime is a serious concern in the Australian community, and the Australian government has an impressive record of ensuring cooperation between jurisdictions on crime prevention. Noting that statement, will the minister advise the Senate what role the federal government and law enforcement agencies throughout the country have played in establishing a national DNA profile-matching database that is binding for all states?
