Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I refer to the coalition's pre-election promise that a coalition government would maintain funding to close the gap in Indigenous health. Can the minister confirm that ripping $125 million from Indigenous health over the next three years is a broken promise that will widen, not close, the gap? Why are some of our most vulnerable Australians paying the price for this government's broken promise?
