Hi everyone,
I just joined Generation One – a new movement for all Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to work together on ending the unacceptable disadvantage Indigenous people face. This is a FANTASTIC campaign for jobs, education and opportunity for Indigenous people.
This is a marvellous opportunity to help grow indigenous businesses and change the lives of many young indigenous people! Feel free to join and learn more here:

Now is the time to act! See for yourself:
-In some rural areas, up to 70% of Indigenous students regularly do not attend school.
-Just 33% of Indigenous young people age 18-24 are “earning or learning” compared with 71% of non-Indigenous young people.
-Eight in ten jobless Indigenous people are unable to work, because of illiteracy, alcohol, or other psychological problems.
Thanks so much! Change starts with us. It won't happen overnight. But it won't happen if we do nothing either. Why not start now?
