My question is for the Minister for Indigenous Australians. You recently met with state and territory Indigenous affairs ministers about the huge number of unsentenced children being held in prison around this country, where we know their human rights are being abused. But, despite your best efforts with these meetings, we know state and territory governments are moving backwards. Just this week, your Labor colleague in Victoria Premier Jacinta Allan announced she's reviewing the bail laws that have just been brought in so she can hold more kids in prison unsentenced. Why are state governments ignoring you?
