Labor established the first Closing the Gap framework in 2008. We are working with the Coalition of Peaks and all levels of government to raise ambitions and ensure sustained progress on the current National Agreement on Closing the Gap.
Our first budget demonstrates our commitment to drive progress on the National Agreement on Closing the Gap. Delivering on priority reforms, and providing increased funding to achieve the socio-economic targets, will result in improved outcomes for all First Nations people.
Labor will scrap the Community Development Program. The former government’s CDP is punitive and it has failed. It has caused real harm to communities across the North.
We are moving to replace the CDP with a new program with real jobs, proper wages and decent conditions for Australians living remote communities - developed in partnership with First Nations people.
