Good on all of you inspirational people. Keep working hard and pushing the barriers and believing that Indigenous Australians are as capable as anyone in the world. We just need to help each other to overcome the obstacles that we know we all face, and give each other a leg up in whatever ways are required. Self belief, tenacity, focus, and never say die attitudes. And a desire to get our communities thriving in the modern world. Get up, stand up. Close the Gap.

Fascinating video - I had no idea there was such a large gap! And I have lived in Australia for over 50 years! Thank you

Can we close the gap by having mutual conversations that connect us through hope? well, I heard this on radio this morning ... they had 3 chickens - Perl, Merl and Shirl and every year the rooster arrived he was called Christmas ... can we close the gap by looking towards co-learning and having fun together? god, I hope so!!! ... maybe we should connect the GAP? Good & Positive ... participate in connection through meaning!!!!!!!
