As a constituent in your electorate, I am joining more than 90 000 Australians nationwide to call on all parties to:

  1. Double funding for Indigenous ranger jobs and Indigenous Protected Areas;
  2. Secure a long term future for these programs; and
  3. Ensure quality delivery and a long term target of 5000 Indigenous ranger jobs nationwide

Across Australia, Indigenous rangers and Indigenous Protected Areas are delivering results for the benefit of every Australian. Rangers are maintaining tourism and cultural sites, tackling feral animals and invasive weeds, supporting research and limiting dangerous wildfires. At the same time, the transformative effect of meaningful work is delivering role models, career and business opportunities and more in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

What will you do in the lead up to the federal election to support the call to grow and secure Indigenous ranger jobs and Indigenous Protected Areas for the long term?

Country Needs People is a national not-for-profit organisation born from the support of hundreds of Traditional Owners around the country.

We pay our respects to all the First Nations people around Australia and their unbroken commitment to keep Country strong on land and sea. We acknowledge Indigenous partners, Traditional Owners, Elders past, present and emerging and extend our appreciation of their support and guidance of our daily work.

ALWAYS WAS, ALWAYS WILL BE, ABORIGINAL LAND.
