QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McCARTHY (Northern Territory—Minister for Indigenous Australians) (15:06): Our Indigenous business and employment hubs are already having a real impact. They've supported 3,000 First Nations businesses on their journeys with coaching and mentoring, connections to financial services, links to industry and access to workshops and networking opportunities.

One of those businesses is Allpro Plumbing Solutions, which I visited in Western Sydney. Tyson Hubbard, who owns the business, has been actively supported by the Yarpa Indigenous business hub, where he's completed multiple business training and development workshops. We've funded the Larrakia Cultural Centre in Darwin, too, which is fast becoming a hive of Indigenous business success.

It was good to take Senator Gallagher there last month for Black Coffee's Indigenous business networking event. We're a government that certainly supports First Nations businesses.
