Defining Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander – owned businesses

Aboriginal Business instead of collecting to urgently needed statistics that most western democracies have collected for decades, the Australian Bureau of Statistics has finally produced a paper – it examines what ‘Aboriginal’ means. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for the purpose of collecting and disseminating statistics on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owned businesses (limited to small-to medium sized, privately owned businesses) has produced the report Defining Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander – owned businesses.
