Yes, that is my point, Senator Macdonald. We have an organisation that is funded to support Aboriginal people to achieve their economic aspirations, and what is it doing? It is running a campaign against wild rivers. So, if you are an Aboriginal person and you want to go and get some support to do whatever economic activity you want to do, are you going to turn up at Balkanu's door? I do not think so. It is running a political campaign.
