Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I applaud the Member from the east, especially in relation to the efforts that have been made in the east. I wish we could strive for the same goals in the Western Territory. In the Western Territory, in the area I represent everyone knows that decisions in this government is not made in this House, it is made at senior levels of government. It is important that we have aboriginal people at that level in this government, so that when decisions are made, we have a reflection of basically the sector of the population that can feel they are being represented at where the decisions are being made. That is why it is critical that this government implement the idea of the affirmative action and ensure that aboriginal people, we have great employees who are at the lower sector of this government. The government has to make more efforts to move those people up, so they will take on those senior managerial positions. Can the Minister give me statistics to show exactly how many aboriginal people are in senior levels of government to date, so we can see how many of those increases have been applied through affirmative action?
