Indigenous Australians will be asked to develop their own Closing the Gap targets as part of a refresh announcement made by Prime MInister Scott Morrison.
Just two of the seven Closing the Gap targets are on track to met, more than a decade after the original report.
Speaking about the failure of the original targets, Scott Morrison says “while it was guided by the best of intentions, the process has reflected something of what I believe is the hubris of this place - it did not truly seek to partner with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.”
