Treaty Commissioner

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:37): Supplementary question: I just want to clarify that, that is, that the Treaty Commissioner has not expressed a view to the minister that the need for appropriate and proper consultation with Aboriginal nations would make it difficult to conclude the first Aboriginal treaty with an Aboriginal nation prior to the end of the year?

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) (14:37): The answer is no.
