It is not only the tens of thousands of residents each year who benefit from the AHL service offering. The company is a leading employer of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, providing development opportunities in tourism, catering and other areas of the hospitality industry. AHL has the highest proportion of Indigenous employees of any Australian government organisation at some 73 per cent of their employees. One particular story is very noteworthy. A student from the remote community of Doon Doon in north-west Australia who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy has never let his condition affect his life. The tough decision was made that he should leave home and move to the hostel in Kununurra to complete school. I understand this has been a fantastic decision. This particular student is now excelling at the school. He has rarely missed a day and is determined to complete year 12. Again, congratulations to AHL. (Time expired)
