Australia is not on track to close the gap in life expectancy between its indigenous and non-indigenous people, a major report card has found.

The annual Closing The Gap report determined Australia is failing six of seven key measures aimed at reducing indigenous disadvantage.

PM Malcolm Turnbull told parliament that progress had not been sufficient.

The annual report measures targets designed to improve health, education and employment outcomes.

"Even with successive Commonwealth and state governments investing more resources, and even with tens of thousands of dedicated Australians seeking to contribute and engage, we are still not making enough progress," Mr Turnbull said in parliament on Tuesday.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, who make up about 3% of the population, are among the nation's most disadvantaged.

Yes. This is true.
Shameful and true.

Perhaps you should leave the aboriginals alone and let them live their lives?
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

Perhaps you are right Harambe4Trump. Nothing else seems to have worked.
But really the whiteman's curse is strong her in OZ.
What has been forced upon the oldest race on Earth is difficult to leave alone and seemingly impossible to fix.

Maybe pretend that nothing is happening. Shut our eyes and pretend.

It's sad but indigenous people often have a very difficult time adapting to modern society. They are torn between maintaining cultural customs and lifestyles and leaving them behind for modernity. Governments try to protect the past while encouraging the future. Unfortunately being quasi-modern doesn't work. Every culture has had to turn the page, I suggest indigenous people do the same or suffer the consequences.

Australia again denounced for treatment of Aborigines as U.N. investigates
Quote:
 
Australia came under fresh criticism over its treatment of its indigenous population on Tuesday as a UN investigator examined the impact of a government takeover of remote communities and as Canberra pushes its bid to join the UN Human Rights Council.

Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders make up just three percent of Australia's population of 23 million people but have disproportionately high rates of suicide, alcohol abuse, domestic abuse and imprisonment, tracking near the bottom in almost every economic and social indicator.

The Australian government can improve indigenous lives by butting the F*K OUT of their lives.

There would be endless tribal war among the Aborigines today if the West did not colonize Australia.

See Africa post-colonialism.

Yep. Why don't you and Drudge X have a chat. You both seem like you will get along fine.
You both seem to have really good ideas and your input is valued by everyone here on Perspectives.com.

"Australia is at war with its white, colonial-derived founding stock." What does that even mean?
Australia is a melting pot, just like the USA. There are people from all parts of the world making up Australia's population.
Are we at war with each other in OZ like a civil war or something?
It's not colonial. It's convict derived founding stock. Or as we say here in OZ, "First Settlers"

Why am I bothering?



But yes as the OP suggested this is true.

Don't bother. It's not worth it. Like we say here in Texas..FE&FEFH :biggrin:

My knowledge of Australian Aboriginals is limited to having watched "Rabbit Proof Fence" ,some internet social interaction with an Aborigine woman, years ago, and traveling with a couple of Australian counterparts on business.
