APY LANDS, FOOD SECURITY

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:39): I have a supplementary arising from the original answer, and with reference to the government's seven-point plan—and I commend the government for now including freight and transport subsidies—

The PRESIDENT: Is there a question?

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: —in that seven-point plan, which was not included under the Hon. Grace Portolesi—

The PRESIDENT: Is there a question?

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: —when she was minister.

The PRESIDENT: There not being a question, does the Hon. Mr Stephens have another question?

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: Yes; there is a question, if you will let me finish, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: Well, finish your speech. Ask your question.

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: How much has this government allocated in the last three years to freight and transport under this program?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:39): I think, and I don't want to put too fine a point on it, but I think the honourable member has put words into my mouth. I didn't talk about freight and transport subsidies: I talked about freight improvement.
