Personal Explanation

APY LANDS, FOOD SECURITY

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:23): I seek leave to make a personal explanation regarding a statement I made on 19 February 2013 regarding backup generators on the APY lands.

Leave granted.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: On 19 February 2013 I stated that this government has been spending $288,000 to backup generators. I should have used the language 'has allocated $288,000 to put backup generators in place to make sure that spoilage (of food) is not the feature that it has been in the past'. I am advised that the Indulkana store is the first store to date that has accepted this offer.
