Tony Abbott has been criticised for his first tour of the Northern Territory since being appointed Special Envoy for the Indigenous Affairs Minister.
Community members at the Borroloola School were confused by his attendance at a school council meeting, describing Mr Abbott as arrogant and reporting that he didn’t listen to concerns expressed by the community.
The NT Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Ken Vowles, says Mr Abbott’s recent trip was nothing more than a photo opportunity to say he is on the job.
