QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the selection process for the position of Manager of Pundulmurra Campus of the Pilbara College of TAFE, and ask -
(1) What process is the Minister following in seeking candidates for this position?
(2) Given the former status of this campus as an Aboriginal College, and the large proportion of Aboriginal students studying at this campus, does the Minister consider it appropriate to involve appropriate Aboriginal people directly in the selection process?
(3) For example, will the Minister consider consulting the Pundulmurra Indigenous Education Training Management Committee (PIETMC) (otherwise known as the Aboriginal Education Employment Training Committee) in the selection process?
(4) If not, why not?
(5) If yes to (2), how does the Minister intend to do this?
