Health Minister Greg Hunt has announced $35 million for Indigenous health projects and said Australia will not be whole until it achieves parity in the Closing the Gap targets | fergushunter

Health Minister Greg Hunt has announced $35 million for Indigenous health projects and said Australia would not be whole until it achieves parity in the Closing the Gap targets.

Health Minister Greg Hunt says the goal has to be parity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.program, acknowledging that while Indigenous infant mortality has dropped, the disparity had remained as non-Indigenous outcomes improved as well. He said these basic health gaps contributed to the "fundamental inequalities" in society and needed to be addressed."I have one goal and that's nothing less than parity. That's the only real goal that matters."

Australia won't be 'whole' until Indigenous gap is closed, says Greg HuntFederal Health Minister Greg Hunt has announced $35 million is being invested in 42 indigenous health projects. Perhaps this money could be used elsewhere for all and projects defunded Any courage to speak about real issues? Like child molestation, crime. Money doesn't solve those. How much was being spent this time last year? Is that actually much change? And how many of those projects are targeted at fixing the system, so that when the money runs out, the system is better, instead of projects that, after the money runs out, the system is no better?
