The ANTaR Management Committee would like to invite all supporters and members to our 2010 annual general meeting. Afterwards there will be a supper with special guests Aunty Flo and Aunty Amy.

Australian states and territories should urgently introduce justice reinvestment programs to break the cycle of crime and escalating imprisonment rates experienced by Aboriginal people, according to Indigenous rights organisation, ANTaR.

Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation (ANTaR) called on governments and community organisations to revisit the reconciliation process and in particular address the unfinished business.
 
“Despite the apparent resolve of governments to close the gap in health and wellbeing outcomes between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians, progress is slow; our politicians and policy makers continue to scratch their heads and wonder why,”  ANTaR spokesperson, Dr Peter Lewis said today.
 

ANTaR Qld, MurriWatch and ATSIWLAS met with the Senior policy officers from the Departments of Communities and Justice and Attorney Generals in October to talk through aspects of the Reducing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Campaign. Discussion revolved around the need to refocus government attention on the goals of the 2001 Justice Agreement and strategies for getting there. The Campaign Steering Group suggested a twelve month plan by all parties to tackle issues of Government accountability, community resourcing and campaign leadership.
