          <by role="member" id="4697">The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:46):</by>  It's a very good question. As I outlined I think on Tuesday, there are 30-something events, for instance, occurring in Port Augusta, including days for children and for elders, a ball and other events. I know that, in my home town of Mount Gambier, there are regularly a march and stalls back at Pangula Mannamurna, which I talked about yesterday. I have been involved in NAIDOC events and celebrations, for all ages, in places like Whyalla in the past, and Port Lincoln.</text>
        <text id="202207072aee2154c25f492aa0000441">There certainly are events, and on websites there are details of events that are held right around regional South Australia. I think I mentioned, either yesterday or the day before, that I will be making representations to my colleagues to see if it is at all possible to not be sitting during NAIDOC week next year, so I can once again attend NAIDOC events right around the state, rather than just a few of them outside of parliamentary sitting hours in Adelaide.</text>
