CENTOFANTI Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Voting Age The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:45): Supplementary: the Attorney has spoken about not raising the age of voting. Can the Attorney talk about not lowering the age of voting? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Special Minister of State Voting Age The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:45): I think I have been used to questions from the Hon. Robert Simms about raising the age of criminal responsibility. Sorry, I have misspoken and, because they are so close together on some things in this chamber, I have transposed two different issues. No, we are not pursuing lowering the age of voting and, in relation to questions I get from the Hon. Robert Simms, we also are not pursuing raising the minimum age of criminal responsibility. But I had confused those two things. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Attorney-General, please use the Hon. Blair Boyer's name sparingly in this chamber this week, given his allegiance to the Collingwood Football Club. It could be ruled out of order.
