Ah well, it's only money. Since that big oaf instigated independence for PNG Australia has been forking out 1.2 million/day to make PNG independent. Now let's see, hmmh, 1.2 mill times 365 times 35 years ? Thank you Labor. xxx PNG.

Right from the start with Tom Calma and co. lobbying for another ATSIC, all Tried and Tested, Aboriginal Victim Industry (AVI) people. With Appropriate, and Continuous Victim Status and Mentality Agendas and Rhetoric.
If people are serious about so called, Aboriginal Advancement, All Legislation and Policies based on Race will Have to be Consigned to the Bureaucratic Rubbish Bin. They just “Don't Work”. Billions of dollars in this area so far. Yet according to the AVI we are, Still the Most Disadvantaged. And so, Round and Round we go.

Oh God.How much more of this tripe are we expected to play around with? We are sick to death of the clowning.
No more. Please.
Anything to knock more tax-payers dollars for grandstanding bureaucrats that are rapidly taking on the hue of indigenous leaders.

Strange that you should evoke the name of Charles Perkins who dishonestly proclaimed himself as being one of the stolen generation. I have met one of his contemporaries, a strikingly honest man of some 79 years of age. He told me how he and Charles were raised and educated and neither of them along with a group of some 120 odd half cast children were "stolen" but were rescued by the good white lady at the Old Telegraph Station north of Alice Springs who cared for them with love and kindness.

This "first people" is a bit dodgy too, given the trihybrid theory, which suggests that aborigines were the third group of people to arrive.

I always loved that line from Michener’s Hawaii, which goes, “The missionary’s came to Hawaii to do good, & they did very very well".

It always comes to mind when organisations like this one are being discussed.
