APY Lands, Governance

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (15:14): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation a question about the ongoing governance issues on the APY lands.

Leave granted.

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: I refer to the minister's answer from a question that I asked on 13 November where he said, 'I have nothing further to add to the record than what I have already said in this place.' Given that he met with the interim general manager on 31 October and has the background information, can he now update the chamber on the current administration of the APY lands, and has the minister found any evidence of wrongdoing by the APY executive?

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): I thank the honourable member for his most important question and his ongoing interest in this policy area. I have no new information to share with the chamber at this point in time.
