Federal Voice to Parliament Referendum

The Hon. S.L. GAME (14:53): Supplementary: does the Attorney-General think that ceasing funding for the boarding facilities in Alice Springs is a positive example of doing things differently?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:53): I thank the honourable member for her question. I have no knowledge of what the federal government is doing in a jurisdiction that's not South Australian, but trying to compare that by saying that you can either have education for Aboriginal students or having Aboriginal people have more of a say in decisions that affect their lives through a Voice is a ridiculous false equivalency argument.
