Senator JOYCE (10:30 PM) —I have two questions. I acknowledge that Senator Scullion is what I would consider a good friend but, nonetheless, this is the committee stage, so I will ask the questions. That is what we on the side of conservative politics do: we believe in the integrity of the Senate and ask questions. Can you please tell me what the consultation process has been with the Indigenous community in its present form and what is the intended consultation process with the Indigenous community into the future? I will leave the next question. The first question is on the consultation process with the Indigenous community, because I know there is a discrepancy. I know Warren Mundine is completely on side with us and believes it is a good program, but there are people who have every right to and have been lobbying the Senate in their belief that the consultation process has not been adequate. Can you please comment on that?
