QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Government’s ‘Training together-working together’ forum in Geraldton in December 2009, and ask -
(1) Has the Minister met with the Midwest Mining and Aboriginal Development Partnership (MMAEDP) in 2010 to discuss funding for a project to establish training and accommodation facilities for young indigenous people in the region?
(2) If no to (1), has the Minister received a request to meet and when will he be meeting with the MMAEDP?
(3) If yes to (1), what were the outcomes of that meeting?
(4) Will the Minister commit to State Government funding for this worthy project to increase Indigenous participation in the Midwest resources boom?
(5) If no to (4), will the Minister admit that his ‘Training together-working together’ forums are just window-dressing and a substitute for real, sincere and funded action on Indigenous workforce development?
