I can say, as Minister for Finance, one of the things that worries me greatly is the expenditure that's currently going to deliver outcomes that none of us in this place would want to see continue. We spend billions and billions of dollars every year, year on year, on programs that have not shifted the dial and have not closed the gap. As Minister for Finance, I have a responsibility to taxpayers to ensure that the money being spent is delivering outcomes. That is why we are supporting a Voice through the 'yes' vote, when it comes—because we want to see a practical difference and see those outcomes change. (Time expired)
