First of all, I would like to acknowledge that it is a very comprehensive report. It is a historical report. It is a report about matters that took place 2½ years ago. I am sure the Auditor-General would not appreciate the senator both misleading the Senate and verballing him when he says that the report said that there is no evidence to show improved outcomes. The report says nothing of the sort. You cannot continue to just say things and expect people to believe them. He says we cut out of Indigenous funding $536 million. I actually had to write to Linda Burney and I am not sure, brother, if I am going to have to write to you. But we have said time and time again in this place that that is simply not correct.
