INDIGENOUS HEALTH AND WELLBEING —HOPE REPORT RESPONSE
I refer to the report tabled by the Minister for Indigenous Affairs, Hon Michelle Roberts, in the Legislative Assembly yesterday, titled “The Western Australian Government’s Response to the Hope Report”. (1) What decision-making powers will representatives on the government’s Indigenous Advisory Committee be given to ensure that Aboriginal people can effectively influence policies relating to their health and wellbeing? (2) Has any additional funding been allocated to address the findings contained in the coroner’s report into the 22 alcohol and drug-related deaths of Indigenous people in the Kimberley? (3) If yes, will the minister please provide details of the programs to be funded and the amounts involved over the next three years? (4) If no additional funding has been allocated, why not? Hon SUE ELLERY

I do not have in my file an answer from the responsible minister. If an answer comes in during question time, I will be happy to provide it.
