Grattan on Friday: Albanese government should be selling Voice as part of its wider framework for reducing Aboriginal disadvantage

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, July 27, 2023

This agreement aimed to accelerate reducing disadvantage by having Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as partners in decision-making.

Key Points: 
  • This agreement aimed to accelerate reducing disadvantage by having Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as partners in decision-making.
  • By documenting the continuing lack of agency First Australians have, the commission has strengthened the case for the Voice.
  • But it has also provided a reminder that a comprehensive framework is there for involving Indigenous people in decisions affecting them.
  • The impression we often get from the Albanese government is of a total void the Voice will fill.
  • Of course the constitutional status being sought for the Voice makes it distinct, and that has raised its own issues.
  • This would put the Voice into a wider, more structured context, which could reassure some undecided or sceptical voters.
  • The PC report also carries a salutary message for anyone who might think the Voice would change everything quickly.

Governments are failing to share decision-making with Indigenous people, Productivity Commission finds

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, July 25, 2023

Governments have failed to properly share decision-making with Indigenous people to accelerate Closing the Gap, despite formally undertaking to do so, according to a scathing indictment by the Productivity Commission.

Key Points: 
  • Governments have failed to properly share decision-making with Indigenous people to accelerate Closing the Gap, despite formally undertaking to do so, according to a scathing indictment by the Productivity Commission.
  • The commission says too many government agencies consult Indigenous people “on a pre-determined solution, rather than collaborating on the problem and co-designing a solution”.
  • The broad-ranging criticism is contained in the commission’s first review of the 2020 “National Agreement on Closing the Gap”.
  • Federal, state, territory and local governments and the Coalition of Peaks share accountability for the agreement’s implementation.
  • But Productivity Commission chair Michael Brennan says while the agreement holds significant promise, “so far we are seeing too much business as usual and too little transformation”.
