Treaty and Truth

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (14:59): My questions are to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs:

1. How much has the government invested so far in the Treaty and Truth process, both from a dollar value and time?

2. How much has been forecast for the financial year 2024-25 and for the forward estimates?

3. What has been included in the budget for both Treaty and truth-telling?

4. What is the timeline for the completion of this government's election commitment relating to Treaty and Truth?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:00): This is all on the public record and I would refer the honourable member to the Hansard from just last week in the estimates process, where I suspect the questions have been handed to the honourable member because they were asked—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: —identically during the estimates process. So happily, opening up what was the green book because it was in the House of Assembly chamber, the honourable member will find the answers to the exact questions she was asking.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: It is disappointing. Obviously, the honourable member has been set up by her colleague in the lower house, who asked the exact questions during estimates and then handed them off and said, 'Can you ask these?'

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I am done, sir.
