APY LANDS

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:46): Supplementary question arising out of the minister's answer: does the minister concede that it smacks of arrogance that he has refused to respond to the deputy chair of the APY lands executive's letter to him in April along the terms that he has now outlined in response to my question to the council today about six months after the receipt of the letter.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:46): My answer is no.
