MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:42):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question.

We are looking at not just how to do that but also issues of better access to historic records is the other thing we are looking at as well. I thank the honourable member for her interest and her up-to-date knowledge in this area.</text>
