MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:42):</by>  Yes, I regularly have meetings with the head of the Legal Services Commission, Gabrielle Canny, and members of the boards of the Legal Services Commission. I think the finance officer often attends the regular meetings. Funding issues, including for Ironside, do come up. I have regular discussions.</text>
