MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (15:03):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. At the end of last year there was a meeting of the Standing Council of Attorneys-General where this was first raised. I think, from memory—but I will double-check—Victoria are leading work in providing further papers. We haven't had our first meeting of that standing council for this year. I can't remember the date, but it is coming up soon.</text>
