I am grateful to the Minister for allowing me in at this late stage. In watching this debate, I heard the word 'indigenous' used. I don’t know what 'indigenous' means, because every single person in this Chamber is the descendent of an immigrant. It's simply a question of when our families came. Would you agree with me that when the word 'indigenous' is used, it is capable of being used in a far nastier way than it would first appear?
