          <by role="member" id="1821">The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy):</by>  The Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation has provided the following information:</text>
        <text id="20090514a9b61afd8d974e3980000572">The government fully recognises the role and responsibility the APY Executive has as the elected body of the Anangu in respect to the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands. As Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation I meet with members of the APY Executive on a regular basis and have ongoing correspondence with them.</text>
        <text id="20090514a9b61afd8d974e3980000573">AP Services is incorporated under the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act. On 16 February 2009 the Registrar of Indigenous Corporation, Anthony Bevan, appointed special administrators to the AP Services following a review of the corporation. Given the involvement of the regulator, there would be no apparent benefit in asking the Auditor-General to undertake an investigation into the affairs of the AP services at the time.</text>
