MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:12):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. Certainly, there were discussions at a very high level that were held immediately before announcements were made in relation to the use of the land behind the Supreme Court. I know there have been a lot of discussions that have been held at a departmental level in relation to, as the honourable member refers to, car parking and other issues associated with using that land.</text>
        <text id="20230927fbb8e1c899b14b8780000235">Certainly, one thing that has been said is the Courts Administration Authority have ambitions over time to look to have building upgrades, and one thing we have certainly said is that any use of this land now by the police in terms of a staging facility won't sterilise that portion of land into the future should those ambitions be able to be realised.</text>
