Senator STERLE (Western Australia) (14:00): My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Senator Scullion. I refer to the government's decision not to renew the National Partnership Agreement on Indigenous Early Childhood Development and to the 38 child and family care centres across the country that now, sadly, face closure. Is the minister aware that for some communities, including Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing, these centres are the only local child and family care centres? Minister, where will these families go?
