I'm asked now about the CDC. I would make a few points. First, in relation to what we are seeing in the Northern Territory, it is distressing, it is deeply worrying and it is devastating for communities, and that's why we're acting. That is why we're acting. That is why the Prime Minister, after consultation with the Northern Territory government and after consultation with Ms Dorrelle Anderson, has made a decision with the support of the cabinet to provide $250 million worth of additional funding for support. It is a reminder of how much all governments need to do to address the intergenerational disadvantage which we are seeing. (Time expired)
