I've been out of it since then - I'll be in my eightieth year at the end of 2021. Wow, it creeps up on you ! So I'm relying on anecdotes and the Ed. Dept stats, and to a lesser extent, on the ABS Censuses.

Currently, around 3,000-3,500 Indigenous students graduate each year, increasing at 7 % p..a, 20-odd % of them at post-graduate level. Still two-thirds women.

Do some Indigenous graduates have any difficulties ? Yes, I think so, with little real help from the elites, especially if they have graduated in mainstream areas, which is the vast majority of new graduates. But that's a very long story.

Rhodesia surrendered to black majority rule, and the peace deal brokered by Britain was meant to keep the white farmers on their farms so that "Zimbabwe" could still be "the bread basket of Africa." But that crazy demagogue Mugabe broke the deal and after massacring the Ndebele tribe which supported his black political opponent Joshua Nkomo, he encouraged his followers to attack and murder the white famers his nation depended on for food and foreign exchange, and to drive them off their farms. These farms were then shared out with his black cronies who had no idea of agriculture at all. So how you can say that today's starvation in "Zimbabwe" is in any way the white Rhodesians fault is beyond me.

Not real smart.

It is similar to the US and Australia today where race hate advocating "aboriginal" demagogues and "African/ American" demagogues teach the welfare dependent blacks to hate the whites who earn the blacks their welfare money. It also parallels the policies of that wonderful black African intellect, Idid Amin, who murdered, raped, and drove out the Asian middle class which kept Uganda viable.

Black African countries have had independence 70 years and despite the predictions of stupid white liberals who championed "anti colonialism" Africa has gone steadily backwards into a beggar continent propped up by the UN. This mirrors the laughable "self determination" of "aboriginal only" apartheid areas in Australia which under the "leadership" of aboriginal 'big men" have become notorious for their child abuse, spousal abuse, miserable literacy and numeracy, and total anarchy.

Things got so bad that PM John Howard, with Labour support, instigated the "Intervention" which side tracked the "big men with black hats and beards" who appeared to have very sticky fingers. This present "reconciliation" and "recognition" garbage is just another attempt by the "aboriginal" elite to again get their sticky fingers on the billions handed out for aboriginal welfare. And I will bet that you and Foxy support them, because these demagogues know how to present their case as the "aboriginal victims of white oppression standing up for themselves."

Hi Joe,

Thanks for that info. I'm not surprised at the 28% attrition rate, back in my day of tertiary study, when there were no blackfellas in the class, the attrition rate was very high, particularly in the 1st year of base level courses. People dropped out for a variety of reasons, not just that the work was too hard, other reasons. In fact it was not uncommon for early on to see too many students in class, the numbers would soon drop off.

My mother who only had a 6th grade primary education in the bush, never had the opportunity for secondary schooling. Mum was an excellent speller, with beautiful handwriting, loved reading. Maybe she was too dumb to know what was the capital of France, but for understanding of life, she was a genius.

Murchison Region Aboriginal Corporation placed under administration after audit reveals staff loans

An Aboriginal housing corporation in Western Australia has been placed under special administration after an audit revealed senior staff were borrowing large sums of money. The Geraldton-based Murchison Region Aboriginal Corporation was examined by the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations last November, after concerns were raised by the corporation's former auditor, Forefront Audit. The examination revealed that a director, senior staff and some members had outstanding loans of more than $390,000.

Two administrators from a South Australian-based firm, Andrew H West and Associates, were appointed to work with the corporation until late August. In a statement, the registrar said the administrators would work closely with the members of the corporation to put "stronger governance and financial management policies and procedures in place". Administrator Andrew West said last year's examination had identified a number of issues within the organisation that "were not quite in the best of order".

Mr West said he expected general staff at the corporation would continue in their role during the administration period, but said senior staff would stand down. "All the current directors are no longer directors, I take over that role, I also take over the management role," he said. "The whole idea about this special administration is to get that organisation back on track and healthy as a corporation and in around about six months time the corporation is handed back to the members."

Mr West was unable to list how many senior staff were being investigated

Wow - what a revelation folks.

Corruption exists among our Indigenous People.

I wonder who they learned it from?

Foxy,

What, do you think that people are so child-like, so innocent, so passive, so bloody dumb, that they can't think that up for themselves ? That there have never been opportunities for corruption in Indigenous affairs and finances ? You're surely not that naive ? Yes, probably.

Back in the 1980s, someone sent me a thick document, outlining the grants and loans from the Aboriginal Development Corporation (ADC) to recipients. Strangely, many of the loans were to ADC directors, often for quite large amounts, for houses, power-boats, cars, etc., and all of which had gone 'bad'.

Nothing new under the sun :)
