National Indigenous Times feature on our Federal Election Campaign, urging all pollies and candidates to support Indigenous Rangers and Indigenous Protected Areas ahead of the Election. 

"With our network partners, we put this case to governments that this is a really good investment for Australia" says Patrick O'Leary, CEO of Country Needs People.

"For the benefit of every Australian, you get better environmental management and local employment where jobs are really needed. We've seen a lot of success come out of this work, but we need to be in it for the long haul...We think this should be beyond politics."
