Well, I hope that this government can fund the Yipirinya School's proposal to make the lives of the most marginalised children on our streets safe. They are hoping that those in power can act to improve their lives right now so that, when they are picked up by police at six o'clock in the morning and police ask them, 'Do you want to go home or do you want to go to school?' and they say, 'I want to go to school,' they have a bed to go to at their school and an adult responsible for them at that school. I guess I can hope that this government will support this proposal. That's all I can do, I guess, because hope, unfortunately, hasn't brought about that outcome.

My question, specifically, was: can the government guarantee that the Voice will improve the lives of our most marginalised and not just appease white guilt?
