APY Art Centre Collective

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:21): Supplementary: when will the money that was previously frozen with regard to APY ACC's activities in Port Augusta be unfrozen?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:22): I am happy to answer those questions. I am not aware of money that was earmarked for any arts operations in Port Augusta being frozen. I am aware of money that would have been paid to APY Art Centre Collective themselves, which I think was, if my memory serves me correctly, just over $200,000. I can't remember if that is a six-month or a 12-month payment. I think it was a 12-month payment being frozen, but I am happy to inquire about that with the arts minister and bring back a reply.
