Public Sector Procurement

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:41): Supplementary: will the government investigate acquittal reporting coming direct from Indigenous businesses that are included in tenders, and will the government also consider refusing the opportunity to tender to those businesses found to be engaged in black cladding?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:42): I thank the honourable member. That was the other part of the ICAC report that referred to Aboriginal businesses, and I certainly am intending to and can inform the member that I will be raising them with the Treasurer in particular.
