QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator STERLE (Western Australia) (14:41): According to research by the CSIRO, eight out of 10 Aboriginal babies living remotely will contract scabies before their first birthday. This can cause serious diseases later in life, such as rheumatic heart disease and chronic kidney disease. What has been the feedback on the ground from communities that are benefiting from the remote laundries project?

I have heard it as well.
