O'DONOGHUE, LOWITJA

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:28): I have a supplementary question. Will the minister ask the Attorney-General to apologise to Aboriginal leader Professor Lowitja O'Donoghue for saying on ABC Radio this morning, 'I do call her unrepresentative.'

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Early Childhood Development, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister Assisting the Premier in Cabinet Business and Public Sector Management) (15:28): I am sure that the Attorney-General and Lowitja O'Donoghue can manage their relationship. They are adults and I am sure if there are any issues that Lowitja O'Donoghue wants to agitate with the Attorney-General she will do so and they will be properly resolved.
