Senator McCarthy and I have made it clear on a number of occasions that this government does not condone violence of any kind in any situation, so that is the first part of the answer. The context in which I was talking about cultural legitimacy, as is helpfully set out in the handy little booklet, is that that goes to the way that members of the Voice would be chosen. So, in answer to all of these questions about certain practices, to the extent that they involve violence, of course our government opposes and disagrees with that.
