This month we've heard two updates on the 'Closing the Gap' initiative, aimed at improving the lives of First Nations people to be more in line with other Australians. But it's not good news – the Government is at risk of not meeting their goals, and actually going backwards in some areas. Today on the podcast, we're explaining the failures and successes of the 'Closing the Gap' scheme, and what needs to change.
