We have had the call of ‘rubbish’ from the other side, Mr President. If they are happy to go and engage themselves, I would call on Labor to actually enforce these initiatives and not to play this little double game of saying in Canberra, ‘We support this initiative,’ and then, when they are back home in Darwin, they are slowly undermining it, and not to follow the path of the member for Jagajaga, the member for Lingiari or the local Labor member, Karl Hampton, who was reported by a man in Yuendumu as going out there before the intervention team and saying, ‘When they get here, just say “no”.’ I do not appreciate interjections from the other side—this is an intervention that all Australians stand behind and I am, again, very proud to be part of a government that has provided so much change for our first Australians.
