I knew Senator Hanson couldn't be on her feet for too long without trying to make some racist comment in this place. I'm not going to dignify that with an answer, but I have to say to you: you should actually try to engage with Indigenous people in this country. You started your parliamentary career attacking Indigenous people, you then moved on to Asians and you then moved on to Islam. You just don't get it, do you? People are entitled to have a life with dignity in this country and not be attacked by people like you. I just want to go on with the issue of indigeneity. I want to ask Senator Cormann a number of questions on that. Senator Cormann, who did you consult with when you came up with the definition of indigeneity?
