Can the minister explain why, despite calls from the federal minister, Jenny Macklin, to address the problem of suicide at Indulkana in the APY lands, he failed to visit the town last week when he was travelling to nearby Fregon? The Hon. P. CAICA House of Assembly Colton Minister for Sustainability Minister for Water and the River Murray Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation APY LANDS, SUICIDE The Hon. P. CAICA (Colton—Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:02): I did travel to the APY lands last week and visited several communities, and Indulkana wasn't one of them. However, as you would know, and I thought maybe you might have been up there— Members interjecting: The Hon. P. CAICA House of Assembly The Hon. P. CAICA: I've been to Indulkana before as well and, quite simply, I met with representatives of the Indulkana community whilst at the funeral of Mr Peter. I also met with representatives of the Indulkana community at the meeting that I had with the APY executive. Dr McFetridge House of Assembly Dr McFetridge: One. The Hon. P. CAICA House of Assembly The Hon. P. CAICA: Well, you are such a smart person that you know that there is only one person within the Indulkana region on the APY executive, do you? Anyway, let it go at that. I met with many people whilst I was up there last week, and what I thought was a very beneficial trip from my perspective, and I hope subsequently a beneficial trip for the people of the APY lands.
