If you look at the funding that goes to policing in indigenous communities, particularly remote indigenous communities—I've worked in some of those communities—a lot of the money goes to flying the police officer and their family up or to their housing. It doesn't even end up going towards the actual act of policing—patrolling and responding to complaints. Is that not a major factor in cost, especially for remote communities?
