Thank you to the member for Brisbane for indulging me in this section. My question is to the Attorney, regarding a very welcome $200,000 in the budget for a feasibility study for a new Family Court in Newcastle. My question is: Attorney-General, given the discussions you have had on numerous occasions with the legal fraternity and the Family Court registry staff in Newcastle, what impact will this further study have on bringing about a new Family Court facility in Newcastle and on attaining a Federal Court in Newcastle?
