Why is senior management predominantly Balanda?
In 2003 the Chairman answered the question this way: ‘We employ Balanda management because we need their skills and experience. They work for us. They answer to us. They share our commitment and our vision for a successful Yolŋu enterprise. We don’t see this as a ‘Yolŋu and Balanda’ issue. Balanda are part of the ALPA family.
