#DigitalInclusion Statement
Yesterday at the #Indigenous Focus Forum Day for Bush Broadband we were asked for a simple pitch statement for #DigitalInclusion.
Leave aside all the detail behind infrastructure policies, USO’s and Codes of conduct and the like, here’s my simple pitch statement.
“Digital technologies has the potential to improve our quality of life by providing better access to information and services, and increase opportunities through innovation, co-creation and economic opportunity.
“Together lets create an environment which is more inclusive of digital futures for regional and remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities through inclusion and access.
No longer can we afford to leave Indigenous people out of the digital equity equasion. Lets create digital innovators to empower and pursue work they love in the communities and towns they love.
Lets not create another divide".
