Advocacy Meetings

The Hon. L.A. HENDERSON (14:53): Supplementary question arising from the original answer: can the minister please take on notice if he or his advisers have turned away Andrew Carpenter from a meeting of which he had been notified and accepted from the minister's office that he would be in attendance at?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:53): As I have said, the general practice is, if we have initiated and invited someone for a meeting we generally keep that.
