Engaging effectively with Indigenous Australians:
What does the research tell us?
Presented by: Janet Hunt
CAEPR Seminar
Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research
Australian National University
"Trends in public service reform, especially the 2010
Declaration of Open Government, encourage a ‘culture
of engagement’ and collaboration with citizens. Since
2004-5 there have been a variety of approaches
developed to improve such ‘engagement’ with
Indigenous people by various jurisdictions, but
Indigenous people frequently express frustration with
how governments engage with them, and
‘consultation fatigue’ is a common outcome. ... "

Aboriginal people you’ll notice that their recent history
is one of a fight for rights, land and recognition.
It is also a history of sadness, loss and denial."
