Senator McGRATH (Queensland—Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister) (15:43): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Is leave granted? Leave is granted for one minute. Senator McGRATH: The government notes the report. It is a priority for the government to work with the states and territories to drive down Indigenous offending, victimisation and incarceration. However, the elements that make up the criminal justice system are the responsibility of state and territory governments. The Commonwealth's focus will continue to be on addressing the underlying factors that lead to offending and high rates of contact with the justice system by Indigenous Australians. In 2016-17 the government invested approximately $260 million through the Indigenous Advancement Strategy—Safety and Wellbeing Program to improve community safety and wellbeing. We are supporting the Redfern alliance to work with Indigenous stakeholders on a national response to the important issue of Indigenous incarceration. Question agreed to.
