Select committee on regional and remote Indigenous communities: first report 2008

The select committee was established in March this year to report to the Senate twice yearly until the end of the current parliament on four broad issues, including the impact of state and territory government policies on the wellbeing of regional and remote Indigenous communities, the health, welfare, education and security of children in these communities, employment and enterprise opportunities as well as the effectiveness of Commonwealth government policies following the Northern Territory Emergency Response. This report outlines the issues that have been raised with it so far and provides some direction for the focus of future reports.&nbsp
