My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. I refer to the Australian National Audit Office audit on the Indigenous Advancement Strategy, which points to the deep flaws in the strategy, including substandard design, poor risk management, inadequate consultation, sloppy record keeping, breaches of Commonwealth probity requirements and no evidence of improved outcomes for Indigenous peoples. Will the minister now admit the aim of the strategy was to slash $534.4 million in funding and not to improve services to Indigenous Australians?
