CDI Organises Training Visit for Bougainville MP

| ^ Hon Magdalene Toroansi - MP Bougainville House of Representatives and Mr Les Gonye - Clerk Assistant Committees, Legislative Assembly, Parliament of NSW. |
As part of its support for initiatives that enable Australian State and Territory Parliaments to assist Pacific Island Parliaments, CDI arranged for the new Chair of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville House of Representatives Public Accounts Committee, Hon Magdalene Toroansi, to visit the New South Wales Parliament from 1-5 June 2009. The purpose of the visit was for Ms Toroansi to examine the role of the NSW Public Accounts Committee and gain a greater understanding of the role of parliamentary committee chairs by engaging with her NSW counterparts.
In organising this study visit and contributing to the associated costs, CDI is supporting the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) initiated twinning arrangement between the NSW and Bougainville Parliaments. The costs are being shared between CDI, the CPA and the NSW Parliament.
