To date, Brough's defining legacy of his Indigenous Affairs portfolio has been his startling and at some times hyperbolic statements made regarding the state of indigenous people in Australia.

Mention needs to be made of Brough's controversial statements and surrounding media coverage. These include:

"Everybody in those communities knows who runs the paedophile rings", the Aboriginal "showcase" scheme, and the $1 million cash allegedly found in an outback community —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vermifuge (talk • contribs)
