Thank you, President. Of course, in any election, whether it is in the Northern Territory election or any other across the country, we expect people to act appropriately. I do understand also from those same media reports that the chair of the Northern Land Council has rejected those accusations. I was wondering whether you were involved in running for the Northern Territory election and then I realised that you wouldn't be because you are running for Prime Minister. That's right—you are running for Prime Minister. But the problem is, you can't run for Prime Minister. You can't even run.
