Federal Voice Referendum

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (14:26): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before addressing a question to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs regarding the upcoming federal referendum.

Leave granted.

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO: I understand, from reading various South Australian electoral office collateral, that the minister is actively participating in community forums whereby members of the public can ask the minister questions about the upcoming federal referendum. My question is: can the minister confirm that no South Australian state public money, including global allowance from MLCs or MPs, has been used to fund this federal initiative?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:27): I certainly have been providing many discussions, forums, talks and meetings with community about what we've done in South Australia. I've found that there has been a very significant desire to learn what the South Australian parliament has passed, what we are doing, what that looks like and the reasons why we did that, and it's something I think is incredibly important and I will certainly continue to do that.
