Letter excerpt

I would also like to thank you for recommending a follow-up meeting with yourself and your colleague, Shadow Minister Linda Burney to discuss critical issues related to inequitable access to quality food and food security, particularly in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

I have sent a letter to Shadow Minister Burney requesting a joint meeting.

For your interest, our advocacy work includes this submission in response to the Senate Inquiry into Food Pricing and Food Security in Remote Indigenous Communities. It discussed the need for the Australian Government to develop and implement a ‘National Food and Nutrition Security Strategy’ with a particular focus on remote communities and inclusion of the local voice in the development of any food security and food pricing response.
