ABORIGINAL DEATHS IN CUSTODY
Ministerial Statement and Papers
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer): Madam Speaker, I ask for leave of the Assembly to make a ministerial statement on the Government's response to the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody.
Leave granted.
MS FOLLETT: I thank members. Madam Speaker, today I am pleased to table in the Assembly the ACT Government response to the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody. I am also tabling for the information of members the full response of governments across Australia to the 339 recommendations of the royal commission and an overview of those responses compiled by the Commonwealth. The tabling of these documents signifies a new and challenging era in Aboriginal relations in the ACT. With this in mind, I am pleased to see that there are representatives of the local Aboriginal community, including members of the Bogong Regional Council, here in the chamber today for this occasion.
