I just want to add to my answer to Senator Siewert regarding the accommodation of the National Congress. I stated that congress was staying in their own premises, and my answers were quite correct in the short term. However, I can add that the congress is also in negotiations to settle their new premises in Canberra, and I have supported those negotiations through the Indigenous Business Australia and the Indigenous Land Corporation. These negotiations are progressing well. Congress is pleased with the progress and has been out inspecting the outstanding amenity they will soon move into.

I look forward to this being finalised soon and I will give to the Senate and to the senator additional answers to the finance in that context.
