Abstract

There has been a remarkable transformation in Australian government policy towards Aboriginal people. In a few short years, Australia has gone from being seen as hypocritical when speaking out about international human rights because of the manifest poor state of Australian Aboriginal health, to a country whose policies on a broad range of Indigenous initiatives - the Northern Territory intervention aside - are internationally competitive.
