Indigenous policy - unfinished business

Election 2007: Indigenous policy - unfinished business
Megan Davis / Australian Review of Public Affairs
Indigenous peoples' support for and emphasis on the "rights agenda" has been shaped by history. The political and constitutional history of Australia is indelibly connected to the contemporary problems of Indigenous Australia: insecurity of rights and policy experiments. It is only when we negotiate unfinished business together, with nothing ruled out and ready to compromise, that we can move forward together as a nation. Posted 15-11-2007

Inequality in oral health in Australia

John Spencer and Jane Harford / Australian Review of Public Affairs
Inequality in oral health in Australia has been extensively documented over the last 25 years. While the existence of inequalities has been accepted, their fundamental character has been less well understood. This has led to a misinterpretation of the information on inequalities and a failure to act on their causes. Some new research on patterns of oral disease and treatment means we now have what we need to inform rational and humane policy development in the field of oral health. Posted 07-11-2007
