Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I refer to the organisation Amity, which provides counselling services for people with drug and alcohol problems in the Northern Territory, which will lose four staff and the ability to deliver front-line services to 300 people as a result of the minister's funding cuts. Does the minister stand by his claim that the government's cut of half a billion dollars to Indigenous affairs would not have an impact on front-line services?
