Again, as part of our plan—in particular to assist in securing Australia's recovery but also to continue to meet the Closing the Gap employment targets—we are prioritising funding from the Indigenous Advancement Strategy to support economic growth but also to ensure that we are providing jobs on country. Through the 2021-22 budget, we're delivering $10 million over the next two years to support Indigenous businesses and community organisations involved in the primary industry and land management sector to grow, to prosper and to create more jobs, particularly for Indigenous Australians. By supporting Indigenous businesses, we are working together to improve employment, economic development and social participation. Again, we know that to continue to close the gap and empower Indigenous Australians, we need to work together with all sectors of government.
