Well, I would suggest that's really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding traditional culture and the way it should impact, especially this process—the way it impacts a lot of issues, including the acceptance of violence in some of these communities, which I am often told is not the case and I'm shot down quite often for speaking the truth on these particular issues. So can you please explain to me how this parliament, through this process, will be provided the opportunity to have a deeper understanding of traditional culture—which many people, Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory, still live very close to—for the purposes of a task as great as this, as great as amending our Constitution to improve the lives of some of our most marginalised whose first language is not English, who are still living within the confines of traditional culture?
