My question is to the Attorney-General, Senator Brandis. I refer to the Family Violence Prevention Legal Services program, and I acknowledge some of the representatives who are here in the chamber today. This program is the only national front-line legal support service that specifically caters for Indigenous women and children escaping family violence, and it services Indigenous communities in 31 remote regional areas. Can the Attorney-General confirm that your government cut $3.66 million from this vital front-line service in December 2013?
