Albanese goes to Garma with economic message, amid disappointing progress on Closing the Gap

Anthony Albanese will reinforce his message about the importance of Indigenous economic empowerment, when he attends the Garma festival in the Northern Territory on Saturday.

In modest new initiatives, he will announce the government will allocate $75 million in extra funding to support native title holders “to secure better deals, drive faster approvals and deliver a real and lasting economic legacy for conmmunities”.

A new economic partnership is being established between the First Nations Economic Empowerment Alliance, the Coalition of Peaks and the government to engage with business, partnering with private capital and institutional investors.
