Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:54): Senator Moore, I will be pointing out to them that the cuts that they are suffering are as a result of decisions made by Mr Dreyfus. Nevertheless, I will also be pointing out to them that under this government, under the national partnership agreement which commenced on 1 July 2015— The PRESIDENT: Senator Moore on a point of order. Senator Moore: In direct relevance to the specific question. I understand the Attorney is giving background, but the particular question was: will the Prime Minister intervene? Knowing the background—intervene. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Moore. I will remind the Attorney-General of the question. Senator BRANDIS: Senator, what I am telling you is what arrangements this government has already made to provide for the needs of the kind you have identified. Under the national partnership agreement negotiated by this government, commencing on 1 July 2015 the Commonwealth is providing $1.6 billion to community legal centres, legal aid commissions and Indigenous legal assistance providers, and as well, under the packages announced for women's safety by my colleague Michaelia Cash, we are increasing that by another $16.5 million.
