First Nations Voice to Parliament

The Hon. S.G. WADE (15:09): My supplementary question to the minister is: has there been any estimate at this point of the costs of implementing the current bill, if it was to remain unchanged?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:10): Various permutations, combinations, have been thought of to try to reflect as accurately as possible the first rounds of consultation—some thoughts, but they are not in a basis accurate enough to publicly agitate at this stage. I don't want to give the impression that we are presupposing exactly how it would look before this second round is completed.
