Despite the existence of queer Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on this land for millennia, it has only been recently that we have seen the first nationwide in-depth research about queer Indigenous experiences.
We have hundreds of thousands of stories that show the cruel consequences of the gender and Indigenous superannuation gaps. But there is no reason why we can’t change these entrenched inequalities in our retirement system.
Australian Unions/The Australian Council of Trade Unions acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land, and we pay our respect to their Elders, past and present. Australian Unions/The Australian Council of Trade Unions supports the call of First Nations peoples for a Voice to Parliament to be enshrined in the Constitution.
