Minister, there are a lot of recommendations made by groups and different organisations, but it's up to the government of the day to actually make the legislation with reference to it. You, here, have clearly treated one Australian totally different to another Australian when you say that the child should go back to the family because they're an Aboriginal, yet you stand here, for an hour or so, stating that it's in the best interests of the child. We clearly know there are a lot of Aboriginal children who are abused, sexually abused and left uncared for, but you say in domestic family law courts that they should go back to the family. Are you really telling me that it is in the best interests of the child to be returned to that family?
