The Attorney-General's Department undertook an open funding round to test the market and identify the best possible service delivery arrangements for Indigenous Tasmanians delivered through the most cost-effective and culturally appropriate model. Aboriginal legal service of Tasmania was the successful tenderer. ALS of Tasmania will be permanently based in Tasmania with a head office in Hobart, with regional office locations to be determined in consultation with the community. It will employ and be advised by Tasmanians. A Tasmanian advisory council will be established.

Question negatived.
