          <by role="member" id="1813">Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (15:36):</by>  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?</text>
