Non-Citizen Offenders

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (15:06): Supplementary: in regard to my question relating to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage, what is the minister or Attorney-General doing to ensure that false claims are not made in regard to this?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:07): As the honourable member has outlined, these are federal matters through a federal tribunal, and not within the state system at all.
