APY LANDS, FOOD SECURITY

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:37): I heard a lot of warble, actually—

The PRESIDENT: Did you hear the answer, because that is what your supplementary will concentrate on?

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: Thank you, Mr President. Will the minister explain to me how teaching people how to cook, when they cannot afford the food, actually puts a meal on a table in the APY lands?

An honourable member: A very good question.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:38): It would be a very good question if that were the only thing we were doing.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Indeed. Mr President, I advise the honourable member to do his own homework and look up the Hansard.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: You have insulted us a fair bit. The Hon. Mr Stephens, do you have a further supplementary? You are deferring to the Hon. Ms Franks; do you have a supplementary?
