The last term of government has finally made significant progress towards Closing the Gap, the head of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elected Body says.
Maurice Walker and his colleagues authored a report, published last year, that revealed the ACT was only on track to meet four of 22 Closing the Gap targets, with seven worse than when they were committed to in 2018.
"We've had a Labor government for seven years and it's been really slow in changing the way the ACT government and our public service work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people," Mr Walker said on Friday.
