MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (15:22):</by>  I thank the honourable member. I certainly have had conversations with the Granny Group. I know that our colleague the Hon. Connie Bonaros also regularly has conversations and both she and I have had conversations with the Granny Group about programs and youth justice issues generally. I can't remember exactly when, but I have visited Kurlana Tapa and in the past had briefings on programs.</text>
