Senator SIEWERT (Western AustraliaAustralian Greens Whip) (12:18): Minister, I was drawing on the analogy about discriminatory approaches that have a negative impact on people. This is my final question because I realise that time is short. It is my understanding of the requirements for child health checks in the Northern Territory that a lot of the conditions have not been followed up. There has not been a significant improvement in child health for various reasons. Developmental delays are identified. Is the funding in place for the 92,000 that you say will be assessed under this particular provision? Will there be support to deal with any issues that are identified, given that we have seen some significant problems with child health checks in the Northern Territory?
