We are lagging far behind comparable countries in overcoming the disadvantages Indigenous people face.

Yet there are thousands of Indigenous people searching for family members.

Solutions will not be found while Indigenous people are treated as victims for whom someone else must find solutions.

We are seeing healing among the stolen generations, and initiatives which are enabling Indigenous people to make their distinctive contribution to our national life.

There are no quick fixes to Indigenous poverty and social disaster.

I support the indigenous people anywhere in the planet.
