QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator DAVID POCOCK (Australian Capital Territory—Independent ACT Whip) (14:32): I think there are many like that gentleman in the community, and I was asking more broadly. I understand you won't comment on a specific case, but it was meant to be a bit more general. It's also been reported today that the inspector-general believes more First Nations people will be pushed into residential homes because they can't afford services like a shower through the Support at Home system.

Minister, does the government share the concerns that including compensation for stolen generations in means testing will make it more difficult for First Nations people to remain at home and age with dignity?
