Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. In your answer to the first question you indicated that the government is very keen to ensure that Aboriginal people can also avail themselves of economic opportunities. If you are going to move towards an economic future without dependence on government handouts, how can the Gillard Labor government possibly now claim in any way to be a friend of the Indigenous people of Queensland?
