Aboriginal Constitutional Recognition

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:55): Could the minister clarify whether the $4.4 million is merely for consultation or will it involve any, shall we say, implementation of any provisions of such treaties?

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) (14:56): The $4.4 million is for consultation and negotiation and, as I think we previously outlined, that may include things in terms of helping implement treaties, particularly in terms of internal governance for Aboriginal communities and Aboriginal organisations.
