Oxfam News – June 2007
In this issue, we look at the widening divide in life expectancy between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. We also highlight an innovative program in Western Australia that's helping Indigenous men reconnect with their culture and heritage. There is also insight into how owning a buffalo can mean the difference between destitution and survival in rural Cambodia.
