APY LANDS, FOOD SECURITY

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:57): Is the minister concerned then that the head of DCSI, a week out from 1 July, had no idea of whether or not the NPY Women's Council on Mai Wiru would be part of the food security projects?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:57): I am not responsible for the chief executive of another department, clearly, but what I can say—and I am relying on the honourable member's recollection of a discussion with Ms Jos Mazel, and apparently she said that discussions are still in train. That is exactly what you would expect would be happening.
