In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS (26 September 2019).

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer): The Premier has advised the following:

1. Questions about legal costs incurred by APY are a matter for the APY Executive Board to address.

2. No state government money has been used to fund recent APY legal cases.

3. The Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation Division of my department has not diverted any funds to essential services as a result of these legal costs.

4. Questions about legal costs personally incurred by Richard King are a matter for the Executive Board to address.

5. Questions about operational matters such as this are most appropriately directed to the Executive Board.
