Tarrkarri Centre for First Nations Cultures

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:53): Supplementary: is the project going ahead?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I would prefer it if you would provide an answer, but you don't have to.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:53): I am very happy to provide an answer and take your guidance on these matters, as always, sir. As has been publicly stated there has been no cut in the funding. A review was conducted because it was found that the Liberal's plans would be wholly inadequate and may only produce something that could be of local significance, so the government is examining all the options.
