I thank the member for some notice
of the question. On behalf of the Minister for Environment, I provide the
following answer.
(1) The 650 jobs
pertain to the total number of ranger employment opportunities offered in phase
1 of the Aboriginal ranger program. Full-time equivalent data was not gathered
for phase 1 of the ARP. As an improvement to the program, this information is
now being sought in phase 2 reporting.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) This data is not sought from
Aboriginal organisations so cannot be provided or accurately estimated.
