My question is for the Minister for Indigenous Australians, Senator McCarthy. Today the Prime Minister spoke about learning from the injustices and mistakes of the past in his Closing the Gap statement. The 2023 referendum on a voice to parliament highlighted the need for truth-telling to combat the misinformation peddled by the coalition, which continues to be a political football in the culture wars of those campaigning for their seats in the 2025 federal election. Minister, why is your government abandoning the important 2022 commitment you made to federal processes for truth-telling and treaties, which are actually able to unite and heal this country?
