The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:11): Supplementary: will the minister assure those 32 communities that have already said no that their voice will be heard?

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) (15:11): Absolutely. If a local Aboriginal community says no, it won't happen there, even if the debate went any further, which it's not at the moment.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr McLachlan.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Let's have a little respect for the Hon. Mr McLachlan who is on his feet.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: Galant, I might add.

The PRESIDENT: And debonair.

The Hon. K.J. Maher: Nice haircut.
