Nuclear Fuel Cycle Citizens' Jury

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Can the minister explain why only half a per cent of the 350 people that were chosen were from Indigenous communities, and can he actually find out from the democracyCo what criteria they used to choose the 350 people?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:29): I am happy to go away and find out if there is an answer to what criteria were used but, again, to try and base an argument on the belief that this government doesn't listen to Indigenous people in South Australia is a ridiculous thing to do, and I completely reject that.
