MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:45):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. I am happy to go and check. I am not sure. Another area that I do remember the Voice has had some involvement and will have continuing involvement with is the Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence, headed by Commissioner Stott Despoja.</text>
        <text id="20240926354776688cd1414c80000121">I know that there has been a lot of work that that royal commission has done to engage Aboriginal people and particularly the SA Voice, so I am happy to check on that particular piece of legislation, but it is pleasing that there is engagement not just on legislation but on many areas of significant policy development that are of concern to Aboriginal people.</text>
