My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Farrell. The presidents and other representatives from the Western Australian shires of Leonora and Laverton wrote to Prime Minister Albanese earlier this year about the increase in alcohol fuelled violence that is ravaging their community, children not being fed and the increase in violence against women, all following the abolition of the cashless debit card. My very sincere question to you is: have these reports been verified by the Western Australian police, and what information does the government have about the changes in crime rates across these communities?
