National Indigenous Consumer Strategy

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:13): By way of supplementary question, does the project or the resource have any information about humbugging?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:13): That would come under things like consumer awareness and also trading practices. Humbugging, as we know, is a difficult issue that some Aboriginal families have to deal with, just as we know that book up is another practice that is common in some communities. So, these are particular practices that will be addressed and, as I outlined, the activities are closely aligned, in consultation with Aboriginal communities, making sure that their needs are understood and that the sorts of initiatives we put in place are relevant and suitable to meet the community's needs.
