by leave—I move:

That the Senate take note of the ministerial statement on Closing the Gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Leave granted.

In beginning to address this particular issue, I would like to table the Shadow Report 2013: On Australian governments’ progress towardsclosing the gap in life expectancy between Indigenousand non-Indigenous Australians. It has been circulated to all members of the reps.
