Department Rolls Out Reconciliation Posters In 13 Languages, Remote Wi-Fi Still Loading

A federal department has successfully delivered its National Reconciliation Week campaign across thirteen languages, fourteen social platforms and one extremely large foyer banner, all within budget and ahead of schedule.

The same department confirmed that a remote connectivity program announced in the same period remains on track for delivery “in up to fifty communities” at an unspecified future date.

“We are committed to walking alongside First Nations communities,” a senior spokesperson said. “We are simply walking at a different pace depending on whether the deliverable is a poster or a service.”

A translated campaign tile reached remote audiences within hours, arriving comfortably before the internet required to view it.

An official noted the messaging rollout was approved through an expedited process reserved for time-sensitive priorities while the connectivity rollout was being progressed through standard channels, which the department described as “robust” and “ongoing since 2019”.

The department reaffirmed its commitment to data and shared decision-making, two priority reforms it has been reforming for several years. The acknowledgement read at the start of each meeting was confirmed as “fully operational” across all sites.

Asked when remote stores would receive promised cost-of-living support, the spokesperson directed questions to the implementation plan, the implementation of which is detailed in a further implementation plan.

“Reconciliation is a journey” the spokesperson said. “Some legs of that journey have better mobile coverage than others.”
