APY Executive

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:35): A supplementary question, Mr President. Thanks for the answer, minister. It sounds like things are progressing well. Is there any area of concern that you would like some focus on to improve? When you say they are constantly improving, what is your priority to see them further improve?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:35): In a broad range of areas. I think, while there have been significant improvements and reforms in terms of financial controls and accountability, there is still work to be done. This is a continuing process to improve these. I think Ernst & Young are currently doing a body of work with APY to put some further procedures in place. I know APY are very keen to look at how they relate to communities and job creation. Certainly, outside the direct role of APY and the management and executive, a focus over the next couple of years will be looking at sustainable jobs on the APY lands.
