AB  - This Topical Issue critically analyses the use of statistics on Indigenous jobs by Andrew (Twiggy) Forrest and the Australian Government.
Mining magnate Andrew Forrest’s May 2 address to the National Press Club signalled another war of words with the Gillard Government, this time over his plan for Indigenous jobs. Forrest used the occasion to criticise the Government’s approach to training Indigenous job seekers, arguing that billions was being wasted on training programs that failed to lead to sustainable employment.
