Ten years on: Are we there yet?
Ten years ago, hundreds of thousands of Australians walked across bridges in support of reconciliation.
We have much to be proud of in looking back over the past ten years, but injustice and disadvantage continue to affect Indigenous Australians. We have yet to fulfill the promise of the bridge walks to achieve equality and reconciliation.
So this year Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation (ANTaR) calls for a year of recommitment to reconciliation.
Show your ongoing commitment to reconciliation by doing a virtual bridge walk.

ANTaR Makes Australia Day Call for A Year of Re-commitment to Addressing the Unfinished Business of ‘Reconciliation’
22 January 2010
Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation (ANTaR) called on governments and community organisations to revisit the reconciliation process and in particular address the unfinished business.
“Despite the apparent resolve of governments to close the gap in health and wellbeing outcomes between Indigenous and non-indigenous Australians, progress is slow; our politicians and policy makers continue to scratch their heads and wonder why,” ANTaR spokesperson, Dr Peter Lewis said today.
