House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time APY Lands, Governance APY Lands, Governance Mr MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Leader of the Opposition APY Lands, Governance Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:19): Supplementary: what is the process that is in place for the sacking of the general manager of the APY lands? Is this a decision taken by a minister, taken by the department or taken by the cabinet? The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Premier APY Lands, Governance The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:19): My recollection is that the APY lands executive, which is an autonomous body—it is not a state government-run body: it is set up pursuant to statute, I think, under the APY lands act—has the capacity to engage or dismiss the general manager. My recollection, and I stand to be corrected, is that there is some role that the government plays in providing approval or otherwise. Certainly we are involved in terms of funding, so I would have imagined that we would have been involved in some way in this matter, but whatever the answer to that question is I know that the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs is deeply engaged in these issues and I am happy to bring back a report to the house.
