‘We are listening’: Anthony Albanese delivers annual ‘Closing the Gap’ statement

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has delivered the annual ‘Closing the Gap’ statement.

Mr Albanese said Australia has “overcome much” but gaps still exist including the “life expectancy gap that gaps us like a chasm.”

“That is inexcusable… we all agree that the status quo is unacceptable,” Mr Albanese said.

“We are listening to and working with communities … the government is committed to the ongoing national agreement on closing the gap.

“We are determined to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to create new opportunities and achieve better outcomes at a local level.”

No to the voice, no too a treaty and no too the truth telling.

People can't afford a snag at Bunnings these days.
But Albo gives away more cash for people that don't want to work
So they can get a job that they wont show up for.

Yeah, F_cking good job Albo.
5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A speech by Albo who spent 2 hours in Alice in a fancy office, chauffeured in then chauffeured back to airport. The office with all the trimmings provided. Albo is as fake as a Rolex watch in a Philippines wet market.

Apply for govt job and 1st thing it says is prority will be given to first nations and torres straight applicant..racist is ever there is. Indigenous people have so many opportunities given to them, many dont take it up. The ones in communities are not forced to live there, there are schools they can go to etc..there is only so much you can do for someone they want to do it also.

If we don't care about the percentage of hard working, decent people who dare vote for a party other than Labor, *then why should we care for the already extremely well-supported percentage of indigenous persons?* 😊

[Lillyboo]

Damn it NO MORE money to be spent when there is no accountability on the billions already being spent every year!!!
Albanese you promised transparency - where is it !!!
Audit must be priority first before more taxpayer's money is given away.
