(a)
Since December 2000 the Public Trustee has paid $136 288 to the Department of Indigenous Affairs (DIA) pursuant to Section 36 and 37 of the AAPA Act. This money came from intestate Aboriginal estates and is not "stolen wages".
(b)
44.
(c)
As the funds are now under the control of the Department of Indigenous Affairs, the Member should direct his question to the Minister for Indigenous Affairs.
