One person on any side of politics does not speak for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities of this country—whatever side, whether it's Senator McCarthy or Senator Nampijinpa Price. We need to deal with communities respectfully. I would invite those opposite to look at the results in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander polling booths and to see that the reality is that many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people voted yes. Many people are hurting. (Time expired)
