APY Executive

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:26): My question is to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation. Can the minister advise whether two senior officers of the APY are currently subject to workplace bullying complaints to Fair Work Australia by a senior member of the APY Executive?

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. S.G. WADE: My understanding is that one is a manager and one is member of the executive.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:26): I am not aware of that, but I am happy to take that question on notice and seek an answer from the independent APY. Again, it is a statutory body established under legislation. I don't involve myself in the day-to-day politics or management, but I am more than happy to take that question on notice for the honourable member and bring back a reply.
