Only you're talking about cultural legitimacy, so I'm trying to determine exactly, precisely, what cultural legitimacy is. I'll give you an example. Women in my family, when it comes to making decisions about the small community that they come from, when the men from that community have disagreed with them, have been threatened with violence. In fact, my aunt, who sat in these chambers the day I was sworn in, was actually in such a situation where she was told that her unruly behaviour required her to strip bare naked and walk through the community and be shamed. This is cultural practice. So can you please explain exactly what cultural legitimacy means when it comes to finding representatives and appointing representatives for the Voice to Parliament?
