My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. I refer to the $1 million cut in federal funding to the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency, commonly known as NAAJA, which has forced the closure of its office in East Arnhem Land. How is this cut consistent with the promise from the Minister for Indigenous Affairs that the $½ billion cut to Indigenous programs in the government's first budget will not affect front-line services?
