Board decisions made to protect the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
Responsibility statement
a message from Troy Austin
Summary
Outlines why the national ATSIC Board of Commissioners made three decisions at its last meeting; press coverage of these decisions has been distorted; i) legal costs for the Chairman are only being funded in relation to his role as Chairman, not for personal costs; ii) the validity of ATSIS is being tested in the High Court to protect the right of self-determination, because of the doubt as to whether ATSIS is obliged to follow ATSIC advice; iii) perceived conflict of interest in the role of the Chief Executive Officer of both ATSIC and ATSIS
