Treaty Negotiations

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:08): Supplementary arising out of the minister's answer: is the situation that the minister has no idea what is proposed to be included in the treaty negotiation? Does it include, for example, discussions in relation to the teaching of Aboriginal languages within schools in South Australia, whether it be in the APY lands or elsewhere; and, does it include issues in relation to health and health governance and the delivery of health services? Surely the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs must have some idea of what he wants included in the treaty negotiation.

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) (15:09): I thank the honourable member for his question. There has been a wide range of issues raised, but I might say that we have been requested, by some of those we are in discussions with, not to speak publicly about the ongoing discussions, and we will respect that. I know those opposite wouldn't do that, because they love doing things to Aboriginal people and not with them. That is how they have always done it and that is how they are continuing to do it.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!
