My question is to the Minister for Indigenous Australians. It has been reported that a video has emerged of a member of the minister's First Nations Referendum Working Group, Professor Marcia Langton, stating that social workers are 'by and large white and racist' and that police 'are racist' and 'get brownie points for rounding people up'. Does the minister believe Professor Langton's comments accord with her request for Australian's to act respectfully and will the minister condemn Professor Langton's comments?
