Age of Criminal Responsibility

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (14:47): Supplementary: will the government commit to releasing the submissions publicly so that members of parliament and the community can consider the stakeholder feedback?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:47): I thank the honourable member for his question. I am certainly happy to consider this. I am trying to remember, amongst the many submissions, if there may have been some that were asked to remain confidential, particularly if they were ones that talk about people with lived experience. Particularly in the youth criminal justice system there will be very good reasons to remain confidential. But I am happy to have a look at it to see what we can do in relation to that.
