APY LANDS, ACCOUNTS

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:13): My question is to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation. Is the minister aware of any appointment or proposed appointment of an administrator or receiver for the APY? The last viewable accounts for the APY were in 2009-10. They show a bank overdraft, despite APY having no power to borrow, and a qualified audit report. There are no subsequent viewable accounts for APY.

The Hon. P. CAICA (Colton—Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:14): With respect to the specifics of the question, no, I am certainly not aware of any move to put an administrator into the APY. That has not been brought to my attention. The first I have heard about it, of course, is what the member for Morphett is saying. As in my response earlier, I would be delighted if he could shed some more information on where he might have ascertained that view.
