APY Lands General Manager

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:25): Final supplementary: in that recommendation is the person recommended Mr King? Is Mr King one of those?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:26): The correspondence we have received from the duly elected APY Executive is for the reappointment of Mr King. That is the subject of discussion between the government, which approves the terms and conditions, and the APY Executive. As I say, it is the APY Executive who decide not just on who the person who is or isn't appointed is but on the process for that appointment, not the government.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Sorry, Mr President, but—

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Pangallo, you said 'final supplementary question' before.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: It was, but it has arisen out of that response.

The PRESIDENT: No, final is final. Sit down. I need to get to the Hon. Ben Hood.
