Wasted space: OZschwitz indigenous adviser calls for more money for pretend jobs

Less than a month from the federal budget, one of Prime Minister Tony Abbott's Aboriginal affairs advisers has called for a doubling of the number of indigenous rangers working to protect almost 500 million hectares of land across the continent.

There are just 730 rangers working ''on country'' to manage weeds and pests and encourage biodiversity on 60 declared Indigenous Protected Areas covering 48 million hectares.

But Bruce Martin, one of 12 members of Mr Abbott's Indigenous Advisory Council, said the program was a ''pivotal'' source of employment in remote areas and should be expanded.

''What this government needs to start thinking about … is how we look at building up these numbers,'' he said.

''We do need to look at how we double the rangers who are doing this work over a huge area of land.''
