APY Lands, Child Safety

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:32): Supplementary: could I ask that the minister might take my second question on notice as well? The reason why I would suggest to him that it is not an appropriate matter to refer is that I would stress again that the committee is chaired by one of the—it's not called AARD anymore, is it? I think they dropped the 'D'—

The Hon. T.A. Franks: It's the AAR.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: It's the AAR. My understanding is that the committee is chaired by the AAR, so his department has responsibility for the steering committee, whilst the other minister is responsible for child protection.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:33): I am more than happy to take that on notice and see if it is appropriate for me to bring back a response, or bring back a reply from the other minister.
