QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McCARTHY (Northern Territory—Minister for Indigenous Australians) (14:43): Well, when those opposite—One Nation and the coalition—collaborate on policy development and call for the abolition of Indigenous spending, it is programs like remote laundries that they want to cut. When they hear the heartbreaking statistics on scabies and rheumatic heart disease, they offer no policy solutions, just cuts to services, because One Nation and the coalition want to use First Nations people as a cheap political talking point, because you're happy to stoke culture wars.

But I want to assure the Australian people that, while they're over there chasing their tails, we're certainly getting on with delivering—delivering remote laundries, delivering 6,000 jobs in remote communities, delivering urgent care clinics and delivering on doubling the number of Indigenous Rangers.
