I just joined Generation One - a new movement for all Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, of all parties and background, to join together and finally end our unacceptable Indigenous disadvantage.
And do it in this generation. Ours is THE campaign for jobs, education and opportunity for Indigenous people.
Will you join me in signing up? http://www.generationone.org.au The time is right, and we believe that we cannot wait any longer. The facts speak for themselves:-In some rural areas, up to 70% of Indigenous students regularly do not attend school.-Just 33?% of Indigenous young people age 18-24 are learning compared with 71% non-Indigenous young people.-
Eight in ten jobless Indigenous people are unable to work, because of illiteracy, alcohol, or other psychological problems.
This is not an easy goal and it will take time to get there but it won’t happen unless we start work today.
Every Australian has a part to play business, politicians and community organisations.
But YOU are the core of this movement a real partnership that EVERY Australian can participate in. By signing up, you will become one of the founders for real and sustainable change. So thank you.
