Mr Mundine has told the ABC he expects there will be cuts to Indigenous funding in the budget as the number of program areas is reduced from about 150 to five as part of a "realignment" of spending. It is not clear what this will mean for dedicated Indigenous service providers across the country but some organisations are worried they will be forced to cut staff.
