Reconciliation plan s positive outcomes

Reconciliation plan’s ‘positive’ outcomes MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire says its Reconciliation Action Plan has led to more Aboriginal children attending three-year-old kindergarten and more goods being bought from Aboriginal-run businesses. The shire last week released a list of “important actions” – but no details about kindergarten numbers or business figures – it has achieved since adopting the Reconciliation Australia-endorsed RAP plan. Canberra-based Reconciliation Australia is a non-government, not-for-profit foundation established in January 2001 to promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. The shire’s list of achievements coincides with National Reconciliation Week (27 May-3 June) and this Sunday’s Reconciliation Walk held at Hastings by the Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association.
