MEDIA RELEASE

Goodooga, northwest NSW, 7 June, 2010 - - The next New Way Aboriginal summit has been shifted from June to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of July to take advantage of NAIDOC week, which begins on the 4th, attracting greater attention than usual to Aboriginal issues.

The Chair of the New Way Summit Task Force, Michael Anderson, cites the Melbourne summit convenor, Ms Sharon Firebrace as saying the new dates are more appropriate because it is in a week when people will focus on Aboriginal issues.
