I have answered all these questions
before. Aboriginal organisations and Aboriginal people are, like anyone else,
able to participate in the political process.
Mr V.A. Catania : It's
a charitable trust.
The SPEAKER : Member for
North West Central, you have had two goes.
Mr M. McGOWAN : I note that
over the break, the National Party had people marching around at events and
doing Hitler salutes. The sort of
forces aligned to the member for North West Central that are taking over the
gentler aspects of the National Party mean that we should all be very,
very worried about the future of that party.
