Indigenous leaders react to the federal budget

View descriptionShare
 

Cost of living, energy, housing and healthcare were the main focus points of this week's federal budget. 

Some Indigenous leaders have highlighted the lack of funding to address key issues in communities across the country.

The Federal Government says over a billion dollars will be spent on Closing the Gap measures over the next five years.

But advocates say there's no money for Indigenous legal services and no support for Stolen Generations Survivors who need aged-care support in their homes.

Other stories covered this week: 

  • Yindjibarndi Traditional Owners recieve $150 million in compensation after the Federal Court ruled Fortescue had mined iron ore on their lands without their permission.
  • Victoria's Traditional Owner body Gellung Warl begins its transormational work.
