Australia's "Close the Gap" is not working

Even with advisors from the indigenous community this program is simply ineffective and it's an insulting embarrassment for our gentle, spirited, creative and much maligned indigenous people.
Everyone must take some responsibility for their own lives and those of their children BUT inequality and hard to access systems create ghettos, traps, intertia, resentment and above all ill health !! It's time to listen to "The Statement from the Heart," to stop 'verballing' indigenous people and especially to stop blaming them for a system that let's them down through lack of incentive to get involved... it is "a road train going' nowhere'!!
