First Nations Australians say 'Now More Than Ever' true reconciliation is needed

This week is Reconciliation week, marking two important dates in Australia's history for First Nations rights. This year's theme is "Now More Than Ever", encouraging Australians to come together to continue the fight for recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people while addressing issues that disproportionately affect their communities.
