Senator Roberts, I responded in my first answer in regard to the beginning of your question, but I will remind you and One Nation of this, because I have looked at the press releases that you've put out. In fact, regarding Senator Hanson's press release 'Toobeah community still ignored while arrogant Indigenous corporation plans takeover', I note that One Nation put in there:

One Nation is the only party contesting the state election with a policy that Queensland belongs to all Queenslanders.

Let me remind you, One Nation: the Yuggera people are Queenslanders; the Kalkadoon people are Queenslanders; the Yidinji people are Queenslanders; the Gunggari people are Queenslanders. So, while you might want to electioneer for the Queensland election, can I just point out that there is no secrecy here and you degrade this Senate by running down Aboriginal people.
