I doubt it, Mr Speaker. Finally, is the minister aware that escalating group violence has precipitated the reintroduction of the old racially discriminatory legislation banning alcohol? Since parents have no rights to force their children to go to school, education levels have sunk to their lowest levels in 10 years. Essential services have failed to such an extent that house building in one community has fallen from 13 houses per year to two per year and occupancy rates are soaring to over 15 people per home. Could the minister seriously look at intervening in Queensland and protecting communities such as Mornington Island from Queensland’s continuing maladministration?
