Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says in the post-Voice referendum world, the government is looking for new ways to improve the lives of First Nations people.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has effectively ruled out a formal Makarrata commission or institution, saying the government has to focus on engaging with Indigenous communities to find new ways to deal with chronic problems facing First Nations people.
“The needs of people in Marrickville, which has a sizeable Indigenous population, it’s very different here to the Gumatj clan of the Yolngu people.” Another five are improving but unlikely to meet the 2031 target, one has not changed at all and four are going backward. They include reducing the rate at which children are removed from their families, adult imprisonment and suicide.Albanese said the Closing the Gap report was further proof the current way governments engaged with Indigenous communities had to change.
