The prime minister and Indigenous affairs minister have released their official response to the latest Closing the Gap report:

Australias Closing the Gap targets will be redeveloped in partnership with Indigenous Australians for the first time with a direct focus on education as the key to unlocking the potential of this and future generations.

The prime minister said the 2019 Closing the Gap report highlighted successes across the country but that refreshed targets were an opportunity to work together to accelerate progress.

A CONCRETER claims he is owed $41,000 by a Gold Coast shed building business that has gone into liquidation twice.

After non-payment of his invoices in October, Mr Quick said he tried to contact the company and was promised payment if he continued his work.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed in July last year, states the consortium would purchase 100 per cent of the issued shares in Bestjet Travel, Wynyard Travel, Brooklyn Travel and associated entities for $US12.887 million.
