Incorporating First Nations into the Future Made in Australia Act will finally bring Australia onto a more equal footing with the United States and Canada.

Australia’s plentiful solar and wind resources and proximity to Asia means it can become a renewable energy superpower. But as the renewable energy rollout continues, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people must benefit.
