Aboriginal Corporations

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:42): Supplementary: basically, I would like the minister to answer the question. Can you confirm your government paid more than $50 million to the Narungga Nation Aboriginal Corporation on Yorke Peninsula, despite allegations of unauthorised loans and consultancies which have generated a large petition signed by many concerned common law holders of that corporation, and can you provide the Legislative Council evidence of how these funds were managed or mismanaged?

The PRESIDENT: Do you want to answer that? It's not really a supplementary.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:43): Yes, I am happy to answer it, sir. I will check. I don't think that there was a settlement that was over $50 million, but I am happy to go and check.
