Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time APY Lands, Electricity Infrastructure APY LANDS, ELECTRICITY INFRASTRUCTURE The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS Legislative Council APY LANDS, ELECTRICITY INFRASTRUCTURE The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (15:13): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation questions about electricity on Aboriginal homelands. Leave granted. The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS Legislative Council The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: After a recent trip to the APY lands, a number of residents raised the issue of the maintenance of the electricity infrastructure on the lands, particularly their homelands. I have had correspondence raising concerns to this effect and have asked the minister about this issue on a number of occasions. Unfortunately, he has handballed this issue to the Minister for Energy in another place. My questions are: 1.	Has the minister received a response from the Minister for Energy? 2.	Does the minister think it appropriate that nothing has been done in the 12 months since I last raised the issue? The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Minister, you will ignore the usual bits. Members interjecting: The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:14): The usual bits. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: The opinion and debate, for you, the Hon. Mr Stephens. The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Thank you, sir, for that guidance. I thank the honourable member for his most important question. To my knowledge, I have not seen a response to the honourable member's question, but I am sure the Minister for Energy in another place is working assiduously on getting a response for him. I am not sure that I accept the premise of his second question.
