Institutional Child Sexual Abuse

The Hon. M.C. PARNELL (14:28): A supplementary: is the minister able to bring back to this chamber a more detailed response, given that the eligibility for state taxation exemption is not related to charitable status listing at the federal level?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:28): I will reflect further on it. I'm not sure what, if anything, I can bring back to the chamber until I'm aware of exactly what the federal government does or does not do in this particular space, but I am happy to have another conversation with the honourable member to see precisely what it is he might be seeking. At this stage my answer remains the same as it was to the honourable member's substantive question: we will sit back and monitor it and see what the government might or might not do at the federal level, and then see what, if any, implications there are at the state level.

In relation to the honourable member's primary question as to whether or not I, as Treasurer, am contemplating moving not in the same way but in a similar fashion in the state arena, at this stage the answer to that is no.
