Ten years on: Are we there yet?
Ten years ago, hundreds of thousands of Australians walked across bridges in support of reconciliation.
We have much to be proud of in looking back over the past ten years, but injustice and disadvantage continue to affect Indigenous Australians. We have yet to fulfill the promise of the bridge walks to achieve equality and reconciliation.
So this year Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation (ANTaR) calls for a year of recommitment to reconciliation.
Show your ongoing commitment to reconciliation by doing a virtual bridge walk.

Concerns remain about the Northern Territory Emergency Response
25 November 2009
Extending income management to all welfare recipients in the Northern Territory will disproportionately and adversely affect Aboriginal people in Northern Territory," said ANTaR National President, Dr Janet Hunt.
“It appears that the mooted idea that compulsory income management could be made a special measure under the Racial Discrimination Act, has been discarded by the Government as indefensible,” says ANTaR National President, Dr Janet Hunt. ANTaR has consistently opposed ideas that income quarantining could be seen as a special measure.
