Ms JULIE BISHOP (Curtin—Minister for Foreign Affairs) (15:10): I would like to add it to an answer that I gave earlier. I am pleased that I did check with the Attorney-General. It is a lesson for all of us to always check the allegations that they make. I said how Labor had left us with the debt and deficit legacy but Labor also left us with the funding cliff. It seems they only funded community legal centres for a short period and Labor did not make any arrangements for this to continue or to provide any certainty. Mr Dreyfus interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Isaacs will cease interjecting. Ms Ryan interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Lalor is warned. Mr Mitchell interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for McEwen is warned. Mr Brendan O'Connor interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Gorton will leave under 94a. He was warned earlier. The member for Gorton then left the chamber. Ms JULIE BISHOP: So in terms of the Peel legal centre that the shadow Attorney-General raced with me, they are already scheduled to receive $276,278 in legal funding over the next two years. It is already being amassed. In March this year, we announced over $25 million to help legal assistance services. This included: $12 million over two years for 61 community centres; $11.5 million over two years for the Indigenous Legal Assistance Program;— Dr Chalmers interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Rankin will leave under 94a. The member for Rankin then left the chamber. Ms JULIE BISHOP: $2 million to restore legal aid commission funding for the Expensive Commonwealth Criminal Cases Fund. Since that time, we have delivered a five-year national partnership agreement on legal assistance services, delivering $1.3 billion of Commonwealth funding for legal aid commissions and community legal centres. This is the first time Commonwealth funding for community legal centres has been included in a national partnership agreement. The agreement provides for a fair, more systematic approach to the funding allocation to deliver legal services to vulnerable people. We have provided certainty; Labor provided nothing. Mr Whiteley: I am wondering, given the information that has been provided, would you seek a formal apology from the member? The SPEAKER: The member will resume his seat.
