APY LANDS, CHILD SEX ABUSE

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (15:36): My question is to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation. When the minister was appointed as Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation on 25 March 2010, was she briefed about alleged child sexual abuse at Amata on the APY lands and, if so, what action did she take?

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers, Minister Assisting the Premier in Social Inclusion) (15:36): I have a number of discussions with the Minister for Families and Communities about a number of matters.

The SPEAKER: Order! Point of clarification. I am not sure where that comes from.

Mr WILLIAMS: The question also was: and what action did you take? Do we take it from the answer that no action has been taken?
