J.M.A. LENSINK (15:14): Supplementary question: is this new service being funded from money that the commonwealth is providing to states and territories under their DV programs, the fourth tranche, or is it an appropriation from the minister's own department?

MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:14): I thank the honourable member for her question. I think it is through the national legal partnership framework, which is commonwealth funding but the states then work with the commonwealth in its allocation. The Hon. J.S. Lee Legislative Council Deputy Leader of the Opposition The Hon. J.S. Lee: It's not new money. The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector The Hon. K.J.
