Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Does the minister acknowledge any Commonwealth responsibility at all for the situation having deteriorated to the degree that we now have Aboriginal people being forcibly removed from country during NAIDOC Week? Can the minister cite any action that he plans to take to defuse the situation, including, as I put to the minister in my previous question, reviewing and revoking his decision not to assess the existing land-clearing proposals?
