Prime Minister Scott Morrison has committed to 16 new targets designed to improve indigenous disadvantage, in order to reset the failed Closing the Gap initiative.

The targets will address critical areas such as early childhood, justice reform, education, life expectancy and housing. The agreement will give Indigenous Australians better involvement in decision making and measuring the progress and success of the targets. Mr Morrison said the initiative which started under then prime minister Kevin Rudd in 2008 was “worthy” and “deserving of credit” but there was still more to be done to improve the lives of Indigenous Australians.

“This isn’t about buckets of money, this is about changing the way we do things and ensuring that we apply the resources most effectively to achieve that. “One of the mistakes that have been made is, as we’ve looked at this as a federal government, we’ve decided what the gap is. “We didn’t look at the gap through the eyes of Indigenous Australians. “We told Indigenous Australians what the gap was that we were going to close, and somehow thought they should be thankful for that.

For starters let’s cut the $35,000,000,000.00 a year we spend on 2.5% of the population - until their prepared to help themselves nothing will change.
