I refer to the deployment of Kimberley Aboriginal Rangers to the Stirling Range National Park to assist with the response effort to fire affected Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions assets, and ask: (a) Can the Minister confirm that indigenous rangers have been brought down from
the Kimberley to support efforts to upgrade fire affected infrastructure
in the Stirling Range National Park; (b) If so, were local aboriginal groups consulted on this decision; (c) If so, was consideration given to the utilisation of local indigenous
rangers in addition to those already deployed to assist with this effort; and (d) Would the Minister consider giving indigenous rangers on the South Coast
and Great Southern the opportunity to travel to the Kimberley to assist
in that region?
