LIDDLE () (): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Yesterday, when speaking on a matter of urgency motion by Senator Nampijinpa Price calling for a royal commission into sexual abuse in Indigenous communities and an audit of Indigenous-specific programs, Senator Ayres said, 'What is the content of this motion and the letter really about? It's really about an angry pursuit of the people who those opposite don't like and who didn't agree with them in the recent referendum.' Minister, do you agree with Senator Ayres that a motion regarding child sexual abuse was about the failed Voice referendum rather than being about vulnerable children?

An opposition senator: Shame.
