The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (15:15): I have a supplementary question. Thanks for your answer, minister. We all understand that this issue is reasonably complex, but are you confident that you are going to be able to lead some sort of resolution to actually move the situation on? We have all been talking, at different times, about this for more than a decade and it is a bit frustrating when we go there and it is the same issue. Can you move it forward, and how can you do that?

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) (15:15): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary question. I am confident that we can find a solution. It is not going to be easy, but I am confident that we can find a solution. It won't satisfy every element of what everyone wants but some sort of middle ground to resolve most parties' legitimate ambitions.
