"It will take hundreds of years to reach any kind of parity with non-Indigenous Australians across all those levels. There's been here in Queensland, the tried treaty and truth telling programs that we've had and they've been dismissed by governments.
There hasn't been a let up in children going into care, foster homes or other care. It also, particularly around criminal justice system and with our young folk in jail. So there's a continuum of what needs to be done - housing, education, employment, the usual things that plague Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's lifestyle."
