Yadu Health Aboriginal Corporation

The Hon. S.G. WADE (15:03): A further supplementary question: considering that the Attorney-General and Minister for Aboriginal Affairs has conceded that this facility has not been fit for occupation for some years, if the additional accommodation is beyond the main building, is the honourable member suggesting that if a federal Labor government is not elected on Saturday the Yadu facility will continue to operate in a condemned facility?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:03): It is a firm commitment that a federal Labor government will provide this funding. There are rounds for funding for remote Aboriginal health services from the commonwealth. I would be very, very hopeful that the Hon. Stephen Wade and all his colleagues would put as much pressure as possible on a Liberal government if they are re-elected, as we would be doing, to provide the much-needed funding so that it can be done.

The PRESIDENT: I call the Hon. Ms Game to ask her first question.
