APPOINTMEN4T OF MINISTER ASSISTING THE PRIME MINISTER
FOR ABORIGINAL RECONCILIATION
When the Government announced its in-principle support for a
framework for advancing a process of reconciliation between
Aborigines anti Torres Strait Islanders and the wider
community, it was also indicated that the proposed Council
for Aboriginal. Reconciliation would be supported by a
secretariat located in my Department.
An Aboriginal Reconciliation Unit has recently been
established in my Department to service the Council and to
carry forward the reconciliation process.
As a further development, I have today appointed the
Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, the Hon Robert Tickner MP,
as Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Aboriginal
Reconciliation. Mr Tickner will assist me with both the policy and
operational issues involving the proposed Council and the
reconciliation process. The Minister will also be
responsible fo'r administrative matters involving the
Aboriginal Reconciliation Unit.
