I beg your pardon? I am upset. I am very upset for the Indigenous people. I want to quote—and I am not going to have much time to do this, but perhaps when we resume I will take no more than five minutes to complete it—from a very interesting inquiry the Senate Standing Committee on the Environment, Communications and the Arts conducted into forestry and mining on the Tiwi Islands. It was initiated, as I understand it, by the Greens and by Senator Crossin and it was to investigate certain, perhaps, malpractices.
