When Commitments Don’t Deliver
🎙️ Episode 2 When Commitments Don’t Deliver
Podcast Series: Accountable to Country: Rethinking Corporate Law Through a First Nations Lens
Episode Description:
RAPs have become the go-to model for corporate reconciliation, but what happens when commitments don’t deliver?
In this episode, we examine the structural weaknesses of Reconciliation Action Plans, focusing on the voluntary nature of their commitments and the lack of enforcement that leaves First Nations businesses exposed. We explore how supplier diversity can be a vehicle for economic justice and unpack the risks of relying on goodwill over governance.
Drawing on legal analysis and real-world examples, Tyson outlines the gap between symbolic commitments and tangible outcomes, and reflects on how organisations can take a more accountable and embedded approach to reconciliation.
📍 A First Nations Affairs × Tyson McEwan collaboration
