Joint Council agrees to push for reduction of over-incarceration of Indigenous peoples
The Joint Council on Closing the Gap met today and acknowledged the 30th anniversary of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and agreed that joined-up work between all governments in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representatives is critical to reducing the rate at which Indigenous people are incarcerated, and thereby reducing deaths in custody. Given the urgency and enduring nature of this issue, Joint Council agreed to accelerate the high priority of establishing a Policy Partnership on Justice with the aim of reducing youth and adult incarceration.
