Again, this is a committee stage. The reason you ask questions is to get the answers put in Hansard in a committee stage so that anybody wanting to look at an additional document they want to use by way of statutory interpretation can pick up the Hansard from the committee stage—hence I'm asking the questions, to ensure that we get whatever answers we can, which appear to be few and far between tonight, so that we actually get the answers we can get now in the Hansard. Could the parliament, then, for example, allow representatives to be chosen by way of an election that is held in an Aboriginal community?
