QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McCARTHY (Northern Territory—Minister for Indigenous Australians) (14:29): I think most Australians would also question the relationships between jurisdictions and the Commonwealth. But I would say to the families in Mount Isa that I am very concerned about their situation and, yes, I am working with the Queensland government and the Mount Isa council.

I want to reassure the families that it's important that you are not left homeless in this whole situation.
