In recent times the Gillard Government announced that it would take on an expert panel to report by the end of subsequently year, this will be done for progressing legal recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Many Indigenous leaders have welcomed the announcement including Professor Patrick Dodson and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner Mick Gooda has greeted it.

Judith Dwyer, Professor of Health Care Management at Flinders University, and a Research Program Leader for the Lowitja Institute held that the announcement should also be seen as a vital health system concern.

Judith Dwyer assumed that in some way, no treaty or formal settlement of relationships between the newcomers and the original inhabitants of Australia has been achieved by this country.

There were battles and discussions and unions, but nothing like in comparable countries like Canada, New Zealand and the USA, in this no settlement was rendered into the nation's legal framework.

They are getting a chance by the next federal election to fix this gap. As they agreement between the Government and the Greens is hold by it.
