QuestionView source ↗
I refer to question without notice 842 of 9 April to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Indigenous Affairs. (1) Will the minister advise the names of the heritage consultants for the Broome area who - (a) were responsible for the heritage survey reports pertaining to Yardagarra 1 and 2, 17756; and Yardagarra 3, 17757; and (b) provided heritage survey reports for the Broome area for 2002? (2) For the information of the Department of Indigenous Affairs, which claims no knowledge of reference number AU-RPGSR-47755, it appears on the top right-hand corner of the Aboriginal sites register of the DIA in a report run on 16 April 2002 at 4.32 pm. Will the minister advise the House whether the same heritage consultant or consultants referred to in (1) were responsible for the placement of informants’ names on the Broome register of Aboriginal sites bearing this reference number? (3) The minister also stated that the Perth office of the Department of Indigenous Affairs had not received a complaint from Aboriginal people in the Broome area about being registered as informants of Aboriginal sites. My information is that such advice dated 21 March 2003 was sent to the Premier with a copy to the Director General, Department of Indigenous Affairs, Post Office Box 7770, Cloisters Square - The PRESIDENT: Order! Has the member got to his question yet? Hon JOHN FISCHER: I am just explaining it. The PRESIDENT: The member must get to the question, otherwise it might be ruled out of order. Hon JOHN FISCHER: Thank you, Mr President. The complaint was sent to the Premier and was scanned in for delivery by Australia Post on 26 March at 1.55 pm at Cloisters Square. Will the minister explain why the department was unaware of mail that it obviously received? (4) In the light of the apparent reluctance, or lack of ability, of the Department of Indigenous Affairs to answer straightforward questions, will the minister express confidence in his department? Hon GRAHAM GIFFARD
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. Like Hon Ken Travers, I note that part (4) of the question sails fairly close to being out of order. Notwithstanding - Hon Peter Foss: I am sure the President will have picked that up. An opposition member interjected. Hon GRAHAM GIFFARD: If the member would shut up for a minute, I will. Several members interjected. Hon GRAHAM GIFFARD: Not surprisingly, the question is offensive, that is all. However, the answer provided to me by the minister is - Hon Derrick Tomlinson: For which you are responsible. Hon GRAHAM GIFFARD: For which I am responsible. It is not possible to provide the answer in the time available. Therefore, I ask that the member place the question on notice.
