Top End travels: the Tiwi Islands, the Catholic Church and King Joe of Melville Island : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 30/7/2019

He had all the attributes of the ruthless frontiersman: patriarchy, a tendency to sow his not-so-royal oats, a capacity for a certain work regimen, a firm disciplinarian.

What Individual?

I can't quite make sense of that. Do I smell a conspiracy theory?
Let me in on it!

If you need tragedy to liven up your day, it's always been with a black background.

What really annoys me on this subject, is how forty billion dollars every year gets bucketed into the fixing of problems associated with the plight of Aboriginal disfunction.

It seems that every good intentioned act by Australian governments of all colours, makes zero headway.

That is epitomised to me watching a good living working and contributing aboriginal family in my area, thrown out of their rented house, along with a plethora of similar white families, making way for our local branch of the Nazi Party, real estate agents, to gleefully gouge more and more profit from rents at any cost to somebody else.

They moved back to the bush, where three weeks later they were burnt out by a bush fire, and lost everything of the little they owned.
In this town we who are left, passed the hat around for them. They were sadly missed.

diver dan,
I don't know about you but I'm one of those who can't un-see/un-witness !
You appear to be aware of the millions wasted but, do you know WHO is wasting it ?
I give you a clue to make guessing easier for you, don't point the finger at the Murri folk !
Yes, many of them are involved but, WHO involved them in the first place ? You're correct with your accusation of conspiracy but it's not a Theory. You may deem it ok to poke fun at those who have/are experiencing the rorts but I assure it's no fun when those who are rorting are doing their best & most conniving to silence the witnesses. I have witnessed many good, decent people losing their jobs because of this. Does incompetent Bureaucrats ring a bell with you ?
