Closing the gap is so imperative to Australia moving forward as a Nation

Gladstone News spoke to a local Indigenous man, Alf, about National Reconciliation Week. 

Why is reconciliation important?
It remains critical that there is a process of reconciliation that filters down right through to school children, new Australians, immigrants and the rest of the wider community. It is culturally crucial that all Australians are reminded about the indigenous struggle for rights, commencing with the frontier wars. That history is a part of all modern Australian’s heritage, identity, and legacy.
