Stolen Generations Compensation

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:10): I have a supplementary question. Arising from the minister's answer and the #theadvicethatterrygave, the hashtag is actually #thingsthatterrydid, and does he note the words of David Washington on Twitter, who stated:

What Terry *didn't* do—delay for years a compo scheme for stolen gens.

Will he actually now join in commending this council for things that this Legislative Council did and things that Terry did in supporting a stolen generations compensation scheme when the Labor Party did not?

The PRESIDENT: That does not arise out of the original question or his reply.

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: Point of order.

The PRESIDENT: What is your point of order?

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: That does arise from the minister's answer. He opened the door, he said '#theadvicethatterrygave'. I give the minister advice and the President advice that that was in fact in the minister's original answer.

The PRESIDENT: I heard your advice but it still doesn't require an answer. I will acknowledge Terry's contribution—very well done.
