Aboriginal Tourism

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:05): By way of supplementary question, has the minister had any conversations with his counterparts in either the Northern Territory and/or federally about the opportunities of an arts centre in Marla, which is more accessible by road, as he would know, for the APY arts centres?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:05): I thank the honourable member for her question. I have not had a conversation about Marla in particular, but certainly with my federal counterpart I have regular conversations and certainly we have discussed opportunities that may exist for arts centres and tourism more generally in remote communities.
