Aboriginal Detention

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (14:42): Supplementary: has the Attorney consulted directly with the Northern Territory on programs that are currently underway there that support rehabilitation and preventing people from returning to incarceration?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Attorney-General, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:43): I thank the honourable member for her question. I have had a number of discussions with the now former Attorney-General of the Northern Territory, the Hon. Selena Uibo, about those and a whole range of other matters, but specifically about those matters. I am due, over the winter break, to have at least one, if not a number, of discussions with the new, recent Attorney-General of the Northern Territory, the Hon. Chansey Paech, about these issues as well.
