ABORIGINAL & TORRES STRAIT ISLANDERS

Policy
Improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Policy Methods (Federal & State)
To help achieve this Sustainable Australia Party will:

• Properly resource, benchmark and report on its national 'Closing the Gap' targets, relating to life expectancy, infant mortality, early childhood development, education and employment.
• Provide greater employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, including those that facilitate an ongoing relationship with the land and natural environment.(1)
• More rigorously protect and recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts and culture.

Footnotes:

1. Examples would be via more prominent resourcing of an enhanced national 'sustainability army' (see ENVIRONMENT policy) and job guarantee programs in conservation land management (see JOBS & ECONOMY).
