Ken Wyatt is the first Aboriginal man to lead an Indigenous affairs department in Australia’s history. But it is a department with a new name: Minister for Indigenous Australians.

“What’s good about the changed title is, it means I have responsibility for our people. It is about our mob,” Ken Wyatt told NITV.
