Mr President, my supplementary question is also to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. Does the minister agree with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner, Mr Mick Gooda, that tobacco smoking is the most preventable cause of ill health and early death amongst Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people? How does cutting $130 million from an antismoking campaign prevent ill health and early death for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people? (Time expired)
