Port Augusta, Remote Visitors

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:05): Sorry, I was too busy interjecting. I apologise, Mr President. I was so distracted by the concept of Labor raising taxes through fox baits. My questions are to the Attorney-General regarding remote visitors in Port Augusta.

The Hon. I.K. Hunter interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! I want to hear the question, please.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: My questions are to the Attorney-General regarding remote visitors in Port Augusta:

1. Can the Attorney-General confirm whether he has had any communications with Aboriginal elders regarding remote visitors and alcohol restrictions in Port Augusta?

2. Can the Attorney-General and Minister for Aboriginal Affairs confirm whether he has had any communications with the city of Port Augusta regarding remote visitors or alcohol restrictions in Port Augusta?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:06): I thank the honourable member for her question. I have regular conversations and representations from Aboriginal elders and from regional cities. Nearly all of them, I think, are on the expectation that I will keep those conversations private in exercising my duty, so I'm not going to go in this place or with the member into private conversations I have with people.
