"IP Australia is pleased to announce the release of this its Reconciliation Action Plan, which has Reconciliation Australia’s official endorsement. The plan is designed to promote a respect for the creativity and innovation of Indigenous Australians for the benefit of Indigenous people and all Australians.

IP Australia’s reconciliation efforts will be directed towards reshaping the approach to Indigenous affairs and to support the reconciliation process.

The key reconciliation initiatives identified by the plan are:

- the further development of Australian Government policy positions on IP issues as they relate to the needs and interests of Indigenous Australians;
- increased Indigenous employment opportunities within IP Australia; and
- engagement and consultation with the Indigenous community on IP issues."

Finally something is done in this way by the Australian Government. I was thinking about that for 3-4 years since I discover all the IP and its capacities in term of protection of people and innovation by the culture….

Hope your government is not like French one…I mean "just word and nothing after…" Though the Little Sarkozy is now to the other extreme: just action and no word…

Anyway, happy for that news, guys
Cheers

cool!
