    Abstract

    As Australia moves into the twenty-first century, its policy towards its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples has focused on two primary areas: (1) making Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities safe as part of the Council of Australian Governments National Indigenous Reform Agreement (Closing the Gap); and (2) providing a fair, equitable, and accessible system of justice for Aboriginal and Torres Straits Islander peoples.
