Age of Criminal Responsibility

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:45): Supplementary question arising from the answer: has the government published the submissions to the document, and what have been the submissions or comments from the Voice to Parliament?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:45): If I remember correctly—and I am happy to check—I think the discussion paper was issued before the election of the Voice to Parliament.

The Hon. J.M.A. Lensink: 2024.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: Yes, exactly. A number of submissions were received and, as is the usual course with submissions received, many are received and those who make the submissions often have an expectation of privacy. No, the government won't be releasing the submissions received.
