ABORIGINAL COMMUNITIES - SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME
I have a supplementary question. Given the minister’s knowledge of these deaths as the former Minister for Community Development, why has she neglected educating Aboriginal women in her new role as Minister for Indigenous Affairs? Ms S.M. McHALE

AnswerView source ↗

Clearly, this government has not neglected Aboriginal women. The government’s public health campaigns focus on the indicators of death amongst Aboriginal children. It is very much a part of those campaigns.
