Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism) (16:33): On behalf of the government, I ask that the question be split and that paragraphs (a) to (c) be put separately to paragraph (d). I also seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DUNIAM: We welcome Dujuan to parliament. Under our Indigenous Advancement Strategy we are funding a range of activities to improve justice and community safety outcomes for Indigenous Australians. On 23 November 2018 the Council of Attorneys-General agreed to establish a working group to consider whether it would be appropriate to raise the age of criminal responsibility from 10 years of age, as is currently the case in all jurisdictions. The working group will consider Australia's minimum age of criminal responsibility, drawing from relevant jurisdictional and international experience, and will report back within 12 months. The Commonwealth is not committed to any position and will consider the report once it's finalised. We note that this is largely a matter for the states and territories, with very low historical rates for incarceration of children under the age of 14. The PRESIDENT: The question is that paragraphs (a) to (c) be agreed to. Question agreed to. The PRESIDENT: The question is that paragraph (d) of notice of motion No. 500 be agreed to. The PRESIDENT: Senators, as a courtesy: I think that deals with the matters that will be controversial, and I will ring any subsequent bell from this point for four minutes.
