Program: Closing the Gap report card reveals 4 of 19 targets not on track

Eighteen years ago a national promise was made to reduce the number of Indigenous Australians dying early, not finishing school and living without employment within a generation. 

Today, the Prime Minister will deliver the annual Closing the Gap report card, a national agreement that was updated five years ago to bring onboard state and territory governments and Indigenous leaders. 

Despite the new deadline being just five years away, four of the 19 targets are on not on track to be met.
