We can accept that most of those who took these remains were motivated by a desire to further scientific knowledge, but we can now see clearly how wrong this was, and how traumatic these removals were for Indigenous people. Indigenous peoples, not just in Australia but in many other countries, are rightly asking that these remains be returned to the communities from which they were taken.

One must ask why the opposition, when they were in government, moved to make it harder for Australians to enrol and to vote, and why now, in opposition, they are resisting our moves to make it easier to enrol and to vote. The answer is quite simply that they believe it is in their political interests to do so. They calculate that the voters they disenfranchised through their restrictive measures, and whose re-enfranchisement they are now opposing, are more likely to be Labor voters than conservative voters.
