APY LANDS, FOOD SECURITY

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:41): I have a supplementary question. Will the minister answer the question: has there been any improvement in anything you have done with regard to food security?

The PRESIDENT: The honourable minister has answered that.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:42): The fact is that we have been working on this program for a considerable amount of time. We have been approached by community members—not as asserted this morning by the Leader of the Opposition in the other place—who want to see the community gardens, for example, rolled out into other areas of the lands. It is a program they want to see put through by the government, and it is one that we will continue to support.
