Liberal MP Julian Leeser is the Chair of the Standing Committee on Indigenous Affairs, which is currently underway with an inquiry into pathways and participation opportunities for Indigenous Australians in employment and business.
Leeser told NIT the policy has been enthusiastically adopted by departments, with Indigenous procurement now described as “part of the culture” within agencies.
