Federal Indigenous Affairs minister and Northern Territory Senator Nigel Scullion says Australia accepts people practising their culture, but when it is perverted, redirected, and harms First Australians, it isn't a right, it's a privilege. He says in order to protect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia, kava should be banned and he will continue pursuing it until it is banned. Anthropologist Kirk Huffman says the government is going about this in entirely the wrong way. Presenter: Bruce HillSpeaker: Kirk Huffman, anthropologist and honorary curator of the Vanuatu Museum
