Aboriginal Artefacts

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:29): I have a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his answer. Given the significance, though, and your interest in Aboriginal affairs and culture—these are priceless articles, we can't just have this go on and on—will you make this an urgent project?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:30): I thank the honourable member for his question. As I said, I am not completely sure of the exact nature of how these are stored. It's not in my portfolio area, but I will undertake to seek some answers and do what I can do to make sure that Aboriginal heritage in South Australia is preserved as best it can.
