Why this petition matters

Started by Winnunga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health and Community Services

The ACT Government has no policy framework designed to meet the needs of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community of Canberra.

We call on the Government to:

1.       Agree to the immediate development of a comprehensive Indigenous policy framework that has at its centre an unambiguous commitment to the right of the Aboriginal community to self-determination and self-management and the right to be involved, through Aboriginal community controlled organisations and processes in the design and delivery of services for the Aboriginal Community of Canberra; and

2.       Ensure that Boomanulla Oval is fully restored to full use as a matter of urgency and returned without any further delay to Aboriginal community control and management.

By signing this petition you support the right of the Aboriginal community to self-determination and self-management and want to see the restoration of Boomanulla Oval and return of the Oval to Aboriginal community control and management.
