The Hon. P. CAICA (Colton—Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation): I am advised:

1. The $4.5 million is in an interest bearing special deposit account relating to Commonwealth funds received for the APY Lands Task Force programs and projects. The total estimated interest earnings on the $4.5 million to 30 June 2011 is $597,000. The allocation of this interest amount is yet to be determined and is subject to agreement between the Commonwealth and the State Governments.
