Thank you. The Australian government has invested $1.5 billion in legal assistance programs in the last five years. The government is currently undertaking the first comprehensive national review of all Commonwealth funded legal assistance. The findings of the review will form an evidence base to guide future decisions on how best to deliver legal assistance programs to increase access to justice for all Australians.

Question agreed to.
