Premier David Crisafulli has outlined a series of Indigenous-focused priorities for Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships Fiona Simpson.

In a letter to the Minister dated 8 November and seen by National Indigenous Times, Mr Crisafulli underscored the need to enhance living standards in remote Indigenous communities, as well as health, education, and employment outcomes for First Nations people.

"Lift living standards in Aboriginal communities and Torres Strait Islander communities," he wrote, calling for a particular focus on "aspirational Queenslanders" who seek homeownership in areas with what he says are current regulatory barriers.

Mr Crisafulli suggested that funding from the Path to Treaty program should be redirected towards "measurable action" for Indigenous Queenslanders.

Supporters of the Path to Treaty Act and associated measures, including the Truth-telling and Healing Inquiry, have stressed the need for Indigenous leadership in Indigenous solutions. Mr Crisafulli has frozen the Inquiry and has vowed to scrap the Treaty legislation.

The new Queensland premier, in his letter to Minister Simpson, reiterated Queensland's commitment to the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, noting the importance of health, housing, and education to reduce disadvantage and promote sustainable, self-determined futures for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

He encouraged Ms Simpson to "work closely with other agencies to improve health, educational and employment outcomes," supporting Indigenous-led solutions.

A significant priority identified by Mr Crisafulli involves working with the Youth Justice and Corrective Services departments to implement early intervention and rehabilitation programs, with a focus on reducing youth offending rates within First Nations communities.

"Ensure appropriate and effective early intervention and rehabilitation programs are put in place to reduce the rates of young First Nations people offending," Mr Crisafulli said.

The LNP campaigned on a "tough on crime" manifesto, and have flagged "adult time" for children convicted of serious crimes, which experts say is at odds with best practice for early intervention and restorative justice.

The Premier also encouraged the Minister to "ensure First Nations peoples are appropriately included in the planning of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games".
