Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Treaty Negotiations Treaty Negotiations The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council Treaty Negotiations The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:53): Supplementary to the answer: given the minister has indicated the issue of teaching of Indigenous language in schools, is the minister aware that in some other states there are some schools which only teach the Indigenous language and the whole program is offered in terms of the Indigenous language for that particular community? Is that a particular issue that the government is prepared to consider in terms of these treaty negotiations? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy Treaty Negotiations 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) (14:54): I appreciate the question, but I do not think there are any schools in South Australia, even in Fregon/Kaltjiti, Pipalyatjara, Pukatja, Indulkana and Mimili, the main schools on the APY lands, that teach exclusively in Pitjantjatjara or Yankunytjatjara. I am not aware that that happens in any South Australian school. That certainly has not been a proposal that has been put to me anywhere.
