On November 19, 2010, ANTaR launched a Reconciliation Progress Report assessing progress in the ten years since the December 2000 Final Report of the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation.

The report, Are We There Yet?, calls on governments to advance their commitment to ‘resetting’ the relationship with Indigenous Australians by developing a clear reconciliation agenda.

It makes a number of recommendations aimed at resetting relationships, respecting rights and resourcing reconciliation activities and groups. These include a proposed process for negotiated agreement-making, a broad and consultative constitutional reform process and a plan to close the Indigenous health gap.

The Are we there yet? report notes a number of reconciliation high-points in the last decade – most notably the National Apology and bipartisan political support for the Close the Gap campaign to improve Indigenous life expectancy. However, it also highlights the lack of progress on human rights issues and the failure to build respectful partnerships with Indigenous Australians.

What is ANTaR doing?

Ten years after Corroboree 2000, ANTaR has launched a year of recommitment to reconciliation. We are seeking to reignite public enthusiasm for reconciliation through a range of public campaigns and activities, including the release of our Are we there yet? Reconciliation Progress Report. We are focusing on the unfinished business of reconciliation, in particular, constitutional reform and a negotiated agreement.

We are working on:

• Assessing what has been achieved, and what is still to be achieved
• Providing a series of recommendations in the Are we there yet? report to advance the reconciliation process
• Developing educational resources to facilitate greater understanding of Indigenous rights and justice movements
• Organising events at which the whole community can demonstrate their continuing support for reconciliation
