LECTURE 14

9 June 2011

In the final lecture of the series we will focus on the policy implications of the analysis presented in previous lectures. We will use the empirical results to motivate a discussion of why previous policies in Indigenous affairs may not have been as successful as intended and also consider the implications for future policy development. Given the current focus of COAG on Closing the Gap, we will pay particular attention to the relationship between Indigenous wellbeing and the setting and achievement of socioeconomic targets at the national and State or Territory level.
