In the lead up this Federal Election 2016, it was important for our audience to hear from The Federal Minister for Indigenous Affairs Nigel Scullion and the other major representatives for Indigenous Affairs in Parliament.

We spoke about the current Treaty & Constitutional Recognition debate raised from the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Justice Reinvestment and the Justice targets that are being set by the other major parties to reduce the rates of incarceration for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
