The NLC congratulates Anthony Albanese and the Australian Labor Party on their return to Federal Government, and looks forward to working with the Albanese government on progressing the National Agreements on Closing the Gap and listening to First Nations voices.
The NLC welcomes Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s pledge to creating a stronger nation in fairness, equality and respect, and bring a positive difference to the future of all Australians.
The NLC is committed to working with the Albanese government to building a future where Aboriginal people in our region have access to the same basic needs and opportunities no matter where they live.
The NLC acknowledges the efforts of the Albanese Labor Government over the last three years to support urgent remote housing needs, deliver jobs on country, and improve standards of living across the most remote areas of the Northern Territory. However the NLC calls on the returned Government to get to work.
More must be done to ensure Aboriginal Territorians have their housing, health and education needs met – making sure they can live and thrive on Country for generations to come.
The NLC also congratulates and looks forward to meeting with federal members of government Senator Malarndirri McCarthy, Marion Scrymgour and Luke Gosling to address critical issues facing Aboriginal people across the NLC region.
Quotes attributable to NLC Chair Matthew Ryan:
“We extend our congratulations to Mr Anthony Albanese and his team on their election result over the weekend, and thank the Albanese Government for the commitment and work they have put in to support the empowerment of Aboriginal people in NT in the last three years.”
“However, there are still too many areas that need attention and we must see immediate action during this new term. Now is the time to do better.”
“Aboriginal people have the solutions. We call on the Albanese Government to listen to the voices of Traditional Owners and start taking real action on the problems we face out bush every day.”
“That is the only way we can earn trust and build a future for Aboriginal Australians.”
