Brief task description This assessment is a critical analysis of a newspaper article selected from the First Nations newspaper Koori Mail.Analysing a news article properly is a skill that can be acquired.

The prudent reader will learn how to uncover the journalistic techniques and will be able to read the material objectively. This is important for correctly and adequately analysing a news article.Rationale for assessment task As a result of this assessment students will be able to recognize their own potential values, prejudices, attitudes, beliefs, stereotypes and behaviours that could affect their nursing practice when caring for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and understand how these can influence holistic health and improve social and emotional wellbeing outcomes for Indigenous people.At the end of this assessment, students will be culturally capable individuals who are self-aware and sensitive to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge and perspectives, equitable and respectful of diversity and multiculturalism, and can apply these capabilities in their professional practice.
