MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:58):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. In a short answer, no, we are not waiting for that. We will look forward to seeing what recommendations are made in relation to that, but it is absolutely not the case that everything is on hold pending that. For example, a couple of months ago, I was fortunate to attend the launch of a new domestic violence program by Junction on Kangaroo Island, so we certainly are continuing to make investments, continuing as a government to do what we can, and we certainly look forward to further guidance from the results of the royal commission.</text>
