4 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (27 May 2014). What Indigenous programs, grants and funding were provided by each department or agency under the minister's portfolio for 2011 and in each case, were these funds recurrent, current, operational or capital expenditure?

The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL (Mawson—Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Tourism, Minister for Recreation and Sport, Minister for Racing): The Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries has received this advice:

During 2010-11, there was funding of $426,000 allocated towards indigenous programs within my Ministerial responsibility as Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries.

These programs were:

The four year South Australian Feral Camel Management Project due for initial completion in June 2013, extended by the Australian Government to 30 November 2013 ($249,000)

A once-off project for the delivery of Indigenous initiatives within Primary Industries and Regions including implementing PIRSA's Reconciliation Action Plan ($157,000)
