Just dealing firstly with your example in terms of the Central Land Council, that's a serious matter, so I hope the concerns you've raised around that that have been followed up. But, more broadly speaking around the Voice, clearly it would have the same rules and regulations as we would expect of any organisation anywhere. So, again, as a parliament we'd want to be able to examine, should we be successful in the referendum, the shape of that going forward—but also in discussion with the broader Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.
