The Northern Territory is on 50-50, and then you've got the larger white population in Hervey Bay and Bundaberg on 80-20. You don't think that this is starting to divide the country? Once again, have you had legal advice, because you've got one lot on 50-50 and you've got the other lot on 80-20? I'm asking you: before this is taken to court—which no doubt it will be—have you had legal advice on whether this is discriminatory?

The whites in Hervey Bay and Bundaberg are telling me they've got a sniff of this. What you're doing is creating a greater divide here. That's what I'm trying to tell you. You're going to have 50-50 in the Northern Territory—I'm not being racist, and I'm not telling you anything else; I'm simply telling you how they're feeling over there right now, just like I would with the people in the Northern Territory. They are feeling like they're being discriminated against because they're on 80-20 and the ones going on the CDC in the Northern Territory will be on 50-50. I'm just asking if you've had any legal advice on that.
