Foxy, now that you have identified 9 though disputable disadvantages, please put foward how you would close the gap on each of these issues that you expect the government to change.
.
) Longer lives.- Genetic
2) Lower rates of infant mortality.- Genetic
3) Better health. - food choice
4) Higher levels of education and employment. - motivation
5) Lower child removal rates.- family behavioural choices
6) Lower community and family violence. - Lack of moral direction
7) Higher wages. - they receive the same wage for the same work - employment choices
8) Lower rates of imprisonment. - current rates to other races are the same.
9) Better representation in Parliament They have several representatives in Parliament to % of population.

Currebtly there are nine persons identifying as aboriginal in either State or Federal Parliament. Ken Wyatt is a senior member of the aboriginal community. When you say they want better representative in Parliament - to them it means more Government hand out to each person identifying as aboriginal.

Josephus,

Enough recommendations have already been made but
government has brushed those aside and chooses to
ignore them. Hopefully the new approach that they
are planning to take will have better results.

As for the Indigenous Reps in Parliament. They
represent their electorates and can't speak on their
own people's behalf. They have asked for a voice
to Parliament but this has thus far been denied.

Foxy, of the nine issues you have identified, How should the Government close the gap?
1] ans 2] interbreed with other races
3] and 4] forcibly remove them from their bush huts to towns and Council employment.
5[ and 6] Isolate them from drugs and alcohol and educate them in family values - teach Christian living.
7] and 8] will improve with benifits from the former.
9] Let them be part of society.

I’m all for a voice to Parliament and the sooner the better.

Josephus,

I'm not sure what new things the government
is planning to do but your suggestions
make sense to me.

..government has brushed those aside and chooses to ignore them..
Foxy,
That's untrue !
So many options have been tried but once it is realised that no matter how much good will is deployed, when there's no good will to accept then shelving options is the logical way.
There is no way to close this Gap when the people bleating for it to not want to close the gap !
