My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. It relates to reports today that unemployed Aboriginal people in remote communities will be subjected to harsher employment participation requirements and work-for-the-dole requirements. My question is: will sanctions and mutual obligations on unemployed Aboriginal people in remote areas be different to sanctions and obligations on other unemployed Australians? If so, what are the differences and what will the sanctions be?
