Indigenous Jobs and Training Review

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:11): Supplementary. Given the minister has given Khatija Thomas, the Commissioner for Aboriginal Engagement, the task of consulting on the Forrest report, will the minister undertake to provide a response to that report and table the report's findings of the commissioner's consultation in this council; and will the minister attend tomorrow night's income management forum being held by groups opposing the Forrest report?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:11): Once again, Mr President, the honourable member stands in this place and gives wrong information to the chamber. As far as I understand it, it was the Premier who gave the commissioner the job to consult with communities.

The Hon. T.A. Franks: Okay, sorry.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: 'Okay,' she says, 'I'm sorry, I got it wrong again.' Well, Mr President, this is a case in point. You come into this chamber, you ask a question of this government and you get your premise wrong. Go and get your facts checked, get the facts right and then come and ask your question.
