My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. In October last year the minister declared, 'Safe, appropriate housing is crucial to better lives for residents in remote communities, including to improve health and education and address family violence.' Minister, has your government taken a decision to end the decade-long Commonwealth investment in remote Indigenous housing agreed in the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing? How will this impact upon Closing the Gap targets?
