R.A. SIMMS Legislative Council Age of Criminal Responsibility The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (14:45): Supplementary: what is the point of a government discussion paper if it is not intended to inform government policy? What was the point of the whole exercise? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Special Minister of State Age of Criminal Responsibility The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:46): I thank the honourable member for the question. Similar to the work the former Liberal government commenced looking at various models, it would probably be a significant criticism of the government if all possibilities were not looked at and investigated, but as I said we do not have a policy in this regard and it is not a priority.
