Government releases annual Closing the Gap report on anniversary of national apology

The 16-year anniversary since the national apology to the stolen generations comes at a time of significance for Indigenous Australia.

National Sorry Day is a day to commemorate those taken. But ‘sorry’ is not enough – we need action

Today is National Sorry Day. This is when we commemorate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly removed from their families.

Thirteen years after ‘Sorry’, too many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are still being removed from their homes

We need to stop taking Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children out of their homes and listen to elders instead.
