Israel-Palestine Conflict

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:09): Final supplementary: given what the Attorney has described in response to the initial question, is the state government prepared to respond to public calls to light up the colours of this parliament in Palestinian colours in support of the Palestinian community locally here in Australia and overseas?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:10): I thank the honourable member for her question. I am sure questions like that, whenever public buildings are involved, will be considered. It is certainly not a decision that is in my purview to make.
