I think it's important to put on the Hansard that, again, we do not condone violence in any way, shape or form. Any cultural practices, in terms of understanding who you are, your links to country, whether you're jungkayi or ngimirringki, whether you should be responsible for this area of country or another area of country or the seas and waterways, whether you're responsible for the bush foods that we use, whether we use the bush foods for eating or whether we use them to harness energy for health and healing—they're important cultural practices, so of course that would be significant.
