Using Indigenous rangers to close the gap

Former Indigenous Affairs Minister Fred Chaney, Birriliburu ranger Robbie Wongawol and Gur A Baradharaw Kod Torres Strait Land and Sea Council chair Ned David talk to Radio National - Drive about how Indigenous ranger programs are helping to close the gap.

When the prime minister Malcolm Turnbull tabled the eighth Closing the Gap report in parliament last month, he reaffirmed his government's commitment to Indigenous equality.

Now a group of Indigenous rangers have travelled to Canberra to convince the government that their program is succeeding in reducing that gap.
