The UN Committee Against Torture reviewed Australia on November 11, 2014 during which the treatment of Australia’s Aboriginal population was a larger topic for discussion.
The Australian delegation stated that the government was working towards constitutional recognition of Aborigines people and had allocated 4.8 billion Australian dollars to the Indigenous Advancement Strategy, whose priorities were to get children to school and adults to work.
