Australia: Aboriginal leaders excluded from violence summit
Federal Indigenous Affairs Minister Mal Brough says Aboriginal leaders will not be invited to a national summit on the violence in Indigenous communities.
Premiers and chief ministers will be asked to attend the summit to be held before the end of June.
Mr Brough says premiers and the chief ministers can bring representatives from their regions who they think are relevant to the summit.
He says Indigenous leaders will not be invited
“Indigenous people have spoken, they have told us what they need. We now, as politicians and as people who run the judicial systems, are the ones who have to step up to the plate,” he said.
