Contacts
"The communication lines are the old traditional way - which is word of mouth; [as well as] electronic means of disseminating information to the Aboriginal community, via electronic mail, snail mail, telephones; and also meetings of the Land Justice Group on a regular basis. We want to be out front for our people as much as possible. I am readily available to be contacted at any time. I always encourage people to ring. That's how I work. You got to be available, out there, fully representative of your people."
Len Clarke, LJG Co-Chair
