Shadow Indigenous Australians Minister Julian Leeser is sounding the alarm on the federal government’s stalled Indigenous policy, calling it “adrift” since the Voice referendum’s defeat and urging Prime Minister Albanese to “get off the mat” and lead with clarity. Speaking at the Garma Festival — where Albanese skipped the event — Leeser spotlighted mental health and education as urgent priorities, sharing his personal grief over his father’s suicide to underscore how hopelessness spreads through communities. He praised Dhupuma Barker College’s success as proof that targeted education can transform lives, demanding bold action before the crisis deepens.
