Over at Stephen Harrison's wonderful A Few Smallish Fish blog, he's highlighted the latest Australian Reconciliation Barometer results. With our Diocesan Reconciliation Action Plan underway, this is food for thought. How can you get involved?
Here are his words...
"The Australian Reconciliation Barometer "is a biennial, national research study that measures the progress of reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous Australians."
Five dimensions are used to measure progress towards reconciliation:
- Historical acceptance
- Race relations
- Institutional integrity
- Equality and equity
- Unity
The full report can be found here at the Reconciliation Australia website. The overview document provides a great summary and is beautifully presented. Comparisons are made with the 2014 Barometer. "
