House of Representatives

Indigenous Education (Targeted Assistance) Amendment Bill 2011

Second Reading Speech

Mr Clare (Parliamentary Secretary for Employment)

in reply-I thank the members who participated in this debate. The Indigenous Education (Targeted Assistance) Amendment Bill 2010 makes minor adjustments to the appropriations under the Indigenous Education (Targeted Assistance) Act 2000, the IE(TA) Act, to include additional appropriations announced in the 2009-10 budget for the Sporting Chance Program. Appropriations transferred from Appropriation Act (No. 1) to the act total $10.93 million. This will make an important contribution to closing the gap between the education outcomes of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. I commend the bill to the House.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a second time.

Message from the Governor-General recommending appropriation announced.
