Parter, Wilson and Hartz (2019) of the article “The Closing the Gap (CTG) Refresh:
Should Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture be incorporated in the CTG framework?
How?” hold a view regarding the incorporation and development of Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander culture. The authors further identify the need of incorporating values of Australian
Indeginous into National public health policies as well as frameworks as a vital prerequisite for
the health and welfare of Indigenous Australians. However, Parter, Wilson and Hartz (2019)
begin with a skepticism regarding significant evidence breach related to the implication of
Indigenous traditions to these frameworks despite of the emergence and incorporation of the
Indigenous culture within public policies. Article has been completely unbiased in exploring
these areas of challenges by throwing light on the way Indigenous knowledge has been intrinsic
to Indigenous culture and vice versa.
Moreover, Parter, Wilson and Hartz (2019) have efficiently highlighted the importance of
consideration of the association between Indigenous knowledge as well as Indigenous culture
which could arise substantial level of significance to traditions when integrated into public
strategies or frameworks. Parter, Wilson and Hartz (2019) have efficiently introduced the policy
workers in the article who have been highly stimulated to formulate a cultural amalgamation by
opening the resources for Indigenous Australians in order to establish their cultural perspective
towards the policy growth. Furthermore the article focuses on a significant campaign which has
intended to close the gap between the Indigenous Australians’ culture and policy development
framework. Authors have efficiently shed light on Close the gap people's movement initiative
introduced in 2007 which has drawn in the agreement of the declaration of objective between the
Australian government as well as communities.
