Immigrant Detention

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (15:19): Supplementary: will the Attorney come back with a response by the next sitting week? When was the Attorney last briefed on this serious matter?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:19): I thank the honourable member for her question. I don't have further figures than those that I have provided previously but, as I said, I am happy for any work in relation to providing answers to previous questions to be scrapped and stopped to restart the process to find out answers in relation to this week's question.
