My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. Some 437 First Nations people have died in custody since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. Will the government commit more resources to eliminating the overrepresentation of First Nations people in custody and to eliminating deaths in custody?
