What evidence do you have, Minister, that this is not racist? Can I ask that question? Am I allowed to ask that question?

The CHAIR: Senator Thorpe, you can ask whatever question you like and the minister can choose to answer or not answer.

Great. Minister, please tell me: why is this not racist? I just need an explanation for the Aboriginal people watching across this country. They want to know why this is not racist. Can you please answer. Please.
