Suppression Orders

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:39): Supplementary.

There being a disturbance in the gallery:

The PRESIDENT: Sir, in the gallery, if you are going to be in the gallery you need to sit.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: It is actually the parliament that makes the laws, Attorney-General—and laws that the courts must adhere to. Are you comfortable with what the Chief Justice has done in relation to section 131?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:39): Again, I thank the honourable member for his question, but that is a matter for the Chief Justice to talk about, not for me.
