J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:46):</by>  I am not able to say off the top of my head exactly which communities but I have met a number of people from various nations and we have a commitment to a strategy, so we are going to be doing it. We are going to be doing a much better job than the former government. They should hang their heads in shame in terms of this policy area because it was sadly neglected. As I have said, the feedback that we have had from a number of Aboriginal people is that in this particular space they felt that they had lost a voice and we are seeking to restore it.</text>
