Premier – Closing the Gap
Premier, you talked before about closing the gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Tasmanians and I note that Ashley Youth Detention Centre, which has an over-representation of Aboriginal children, remains indefinitely open on your watch. In this year's Budget you have only committed $600,000 in this financial year, but nothing at all in the forward Estimates towards Closing the Gap and you have previously said that your focus on Closing the Gap means that is an excuse for you not to pursue a truth-telling process or treaty bill.
