Media Release.
Shadow
Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, Curtis
Pitt, says the Newman Government has changed its tune on the Cape York
welfare reform trial.
“Minister
Glen Elmes has already decided to end the trial even though he is on
the record in State Parliament lauding it on several occasions,” Mr Pitt
said.
“He has also directly linked his decision to the outcome of the federal election, which raises doubts about his motives.
“I certainly hope he does not intend to make this issue a political football in coming months.”
Mr Pitt said it was difficult to comment on the evaluation report until it was released publicly.
“I also understand that Mr Elmes may have a draft report and is basing his comments on that,” he said.
“It would be better if he waited for the final report before starting to make decisions.”
