Public Sector Employees

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:09): Supplementary: why did the minister not need to consult with the minister for disabilities or the minister for women on the target set in those areas, but felt the need to consult with the minister for Aboriginal affairs on Aboriginal employment within the public sector?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:09): I choose to consult on some questions; on others, I choose not to consult. I choose on occasions to indicate that I am going to consult with various people for some answers to questions; on others, I choose not to. It's just a question of choice as the minister in terms of answering the questions.
