Non-Indigenous corporations receive Indigenous Advancement Strategy funding

Near 600 non Indigenous organisations and corporations are being given millions of taxpayers money under the Indigenous Advancement Strategy. 

Crown resorts is one of many corporations being funded, receiving 2.29 million from the National Indigenous Australians Agency. 

Greens senator Lidia Thorpe criticised the agency’s funding choices, asking why non-indigenous organisations are taking billions of money needed to advance indigenous Australians.
