Aboriginal Constitutional Recognition

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:55): Supplementary: how do people register their interest in being involved in the consultation on the treaty? How will information about that process be disseminated, and will it involve information in Aboriginal languages, if necessary?

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) (14:55): I thank the honourable member for her very important question. The department of Aboriginal affairs has a very good record of being able to develop consultation processes with the Aboriginal community, and I am absolutely certain that there is, as there often is when statewide consultations are taking place, material that is translated into appropriate languages.
