Extra Information
- members of the project group decided to use dhura or bindira for a range of occupation of words. (Dhura is used for an Aboriginal person and bindira for a non-Aboriginal person). - the word bindira is used here because the AET is generally a white person. This would not be the correct word to indicate an Aboriginal AET.
