Greening said she would not respond to the first
stage of the
consultation on the formula until the autumn, and that a second
consultation on the proposed detail of the
policy would be launched later in the year.
In a written statement to parliament, Greening said the first

In July 2011 I wrote to the Minister for Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, urging the Government, in its conduct of the Stronger Futures
consultations this year, to learn from the shortcomings in the last
consultation process to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples can meaningfully participate in all

The best way to ensure this is for governments to engage with communities and their representatives at the earliest
stages of law and
policy processes, and to develop
consultation processes in full partnership with them.
