My question is to the Assistant Minister for Health, Senator Nash. Today the Western Sydney Aboriginal Medical Service is closing its doors after 28 years of serving the community. I note the financial management challenges this organisation has experienced, but other services have been helped to reorganise, have been partnered with other organisations and have managed to find a way to continue to support the community. Why has the government decided in this instance to essentially push the 11,000 people who were supported by this Aboriginal service into mainstream services?
