can it still be one I definitely think it can still be one uh Karen I think that what you see with published polls and as much as politicians don't like to say they follow the polls as you know we often do but they do bounce around and what I am confident of is that that practical argument because so many Australians want to do the right thing
they want to see advancement for indigenous people in this country they want us to be able to close the gap I've got no doubt that if we actually have a voice that we are listening to it will enable us to do that better and more efficiently and that'll be a great outcome for government across the country if we actually are doing that in a more efficient

Olympic transformation as well and that's really exciting for the city the state and I think the country in terms of what will be available for the community on post 2032 and in the lead up to
