Gerard Community Council Aboriginal Corporation

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): Supplementary: will the minister write to ORIC to request an update as to where the investigation is at for the members of the Gerard community?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:36): I have encouraged members who have a direct interest and are concerned to directly write to ORIC. It will be much more effective to get that information firsthand, rather than passing it on to me and having it one level removed. As I have encouraged, I would encourage anybody who has a concern, given ORIC, the federal body, are the regulator, to continue to seek updates from the federal regulator.
