Mr Campbell
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs, upon notice, on 23 June 1997:
Did the Minister's Department or agencies within the Minister's responsibility provide assistance for persons to attend the Reconciliation Convention in Melbourne in May 1997; is so what.
Dr Kemp
—The Minister for Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs has provided the following answer to the honourable member's question:
Yes.
Full travel, accommodation costs and Convention registrations were met by the Department for two senior Departmental officers with responsibility for Indigenous issues to attend the Convention. Reduced Convention registrations were also paid for one other senior officer with responsibility for Indigenous issues to attend parts of the Convention. Travel and accommodation costs were also provided for the Secretary to attend part of the Convention and for two officers from National Office to staff a Departmental display booth at the Convention.
Four full Convention registrations were paid by the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation under an agreement with the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet for the Department of Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs to sponsor the Australian Reconciliation Youth Award. Travel and accommodation costs for these officers were met by the Department.
A percentage of the funds provided by the Department to sponsor the Australian Reconciliation Youth Award were used by the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation to enable awards finalists or their representatives to attend the Convention in accordance with the terms of the sponsorship arrangements.
The Department funds a number of organisations through the Employment Strategies element of the TAP—Training for Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders Program. Some of these organisations had representatives at the Convention. Employment Strategies budgets often include provision for strategy promotion, and include travel and accommodation costs for attendance at major forums and events. However, provided funds are spent in accordance with agreed general budget categories or expenditure, Departmental officers do not get involved in the detailed day to day decision making on the expenditure of such funds.
