First Peoples' justice

We seek: First Peoples' justice

We seek a world where First Peoples are treated as equals and can take control of their future.

An equal society

Despite being the original custodians of this country, First Peoples are often denied their fair share of its natural resources. They have little say in the decisions that impact their lives and lands, leading to lower life expectancy and higher rates of unemployment, poverty, incarceration, disability and chronic illness. 

We promote the rights of First Peoples to address the causes of inequality and take control of their destiny.
