My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Australians, Senator McCarthy. I'm sure that everyone in this chamber can agree that the rates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people in out-of-home care are clearly unacceptable. First Nations children are 11 times more likely to be in out-of-home care compared to non-Indigenous children. Can the minister outline what steps are being taken to reverse these statistics for our children?
