Senator LUDWIG (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister Assisting on Queensland Floods Recovery) (15:08): I seek leave to incorporate into Hansard an answer to a question taken on notice on 15 March 2012 from Senator Macdonald in relation to the Townsville legal profession.
Leave granted.
The answer read as follows—
Question taken on notice 15 March 2012 by Senator Ludwig acting as Minister representing the Attorney-General
Sen. Macdonald—Question
Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I ask the minister to check the Hansard records, where he will see that commitment was made. I also ask whether he is aware that the Townsville legal profession was advised by the Attorney-General's office on 15 February that advertisements would be placed in papers in Townsville on 3 March. Were they published on that day as promised? If they were not, when is it intended to place those advertisements?
Sen. Ludwig—Response
I have been advised by the Attorney-General that an advertisement for nominations and expressions of interest for appointments to the Family Court of Australia in Queensland, Sydney and Adelaide will appear in newspapers on Friday 23 March and Saturday 24 March 2012.
