Federal Voice to Parliament Referendum

The Hon. S.L. GAME (15:00): Supplementary question: my question to the Attorney-General is to be quite specific and clear about what part of my question indicated that I am happy with the status quo. That is a deeply offensive statement and it seems to apply to every South Australian who has concerns with the Voice referendum. Is that what you are suggesting, that anybody who has concerns—if it is just me then let's be clear about what exactly I have said to make it just me.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:01): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary question.

The PRESIDENT: It is not a supplementary question.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: What the honourable member suggested yesterday is that you should keep funding things exactly how they have been funded before; you should keep doing exactly what you have always done and not do anything different. I disagree. I don't think things are working as properly as they should, and listening to the people for whom government provides services, who come up with programs, about their views about how they should be done I think is a wholeheartedly good thing, and that is why every single member of the Labor Party nationally, every single member of the Labor Party in this state is in full support of the 'yes' campaign during this referendum.
