My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister. There were three Aboriginal deaths in custody last week—in one week—bringing the number to almost 500. We're only 3.3 per cent of this population. Next month marks the 30th anniversary of the final report of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. Our people are screaming for justice. What will you do to end Aboriginal deaths in custody?
