Date Time CLOSE GAP: New report wake-up call for all Australians Governments across Australia must urgently redouble their efforts to address Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander inequality, the Close the Gap campaign says, following the release of disappointing new data on the National Agreement on Closing the Gap. This week’s release of the first annual data report by the Productivity Commission revealed that the central commitment to close the life expectancy gap for First Nations people by 2031 was not on track to be met. The report also showed increased rates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in prisons and out-of-home care, and increased rates of suicide.
