I'll move on to some other questions now. I've got some questions about child safety services and out‑of‑home care.
There have been multiple delays in Ashley Youth Detention Centre closing, so it's difficult to trust what's being said.
I'd like to ask some questions about the assisted‑bail facilities and what's happening with those.
Does the department use private companies to transport young people to and from Ashley Youth Detention Centre?
Is it still your government's intention to build five new youth justice facilities?
Minister, could you provide a breakdown of the ages of children held in Ashley Youth Detention Centre during 2023‑24, please?
Given that a disproportionate number of young people who are in Ashley Youth Detention centre are Aboriginal, have you funded a bail hostel safe home facility so that Aboriginal young people won't be sent to Ashley when they should instead be bailed and going into a home?
Minister, can you give us some information about Aboriginal Heritage Tasmania moving from DPAC to NRE to be located with Heritage Tasmania?
Minister, your department's review in 2021 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act identified it, correctly, as the worst Aboriginal cultural heritage law in the country.
