MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:06): I thank the honourable member for her question. What she seems to be alluding to, and she can say if it's not correct, is that one ought to override legislation that protects other aspects if they think there is a community expectation of it. What I don't endorse, what I absolutely do not endorse, is shortcutting, truncating or doing away with statutory provisions, whether they be environmental— Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector The Hon. K.J.
