It comes after revelations $120 million is sitting idle in a trust earmarked for Australia's most disadvantaged community.

why the cash and assets have not been used to advance the lives of the 1000 or so Aurukun residents, whose community on western Cape York falls within Mr Entsch's electorate.Queensland Police Service

"There has been more money spent per head in Aurukun than in very few other places in Queensland," Mr Entsch said. "There is a lack of leadership within the community ... I am hoping with a new mayor that might spark some significant changes."There has been no suggestion of mismanagement, misuse or any form of illegality in relation to the trust funds.

The Queensland government's "champion" of Aurukun, Child Safety Minister Di Farmer, said it had no control over how the funds were spent. Mr Entsch said alcohol was the "core of the problem" in Aurukun, but a prohibition on alcohol wouldn't work. Instead, communities needed to be empowered to work with the police to identify who needed to be taken to a detox centre, he said, before being provided additional support through groups such as Kapani Warrior.
