My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. I refer to the minister's comments that vegemite is a precursor to misery in many remote Indigenous communities, where the minister has alleged that the popular spread is used to brew alcohol. Does he stand by his comment that children were failing to turn up to school because they were too hung-over as a result of consuming the home brew? What evidence does the minister have to support these allegations?
