Supply nation has its origins in the supplier diversity
movements during the Presidency of Richard Nixon in the United States of
America . The movement spread to Australia as well and there were slew of
legislations that provided the legal shield to the proposition of the existence
of a supplier diversity for aboriginal businesses . There was also a
legislation for the Indigenous Procurement Policy to support the businesses of
the Aboriginals and the Torres strait people . The supply nation is at the forefront
of making the aboriginals and the Torres strait people businesses a success
story , and there have been plenty of success stories as well. There is one
company owned by an aboriginal individual that partnered with the Indigenous
business Australia engaged in financial services , they partnered with the
latter providing the finances and some of the orders as well ,and it was a
win-win situation for both the companies .
