The do-gooders really need to look after themselves after generations of trying to appease ingrates identifying as aboriginal, irrespective what percentage of their make-up can be traced back to the first inhabitants.

A study reported by the IPA has found that the quality of life for everyone in Australia has declined by 28.5% since 2000. The decline has occurred in the areas of home life, work, enterprise, government and lifestyle.

The Marxists have covered up that type of information by harping on non-existing problems like this aboriginal nonsense.

Governments do not own taxpayer money! The taxpayer does! And they need to flag intended expenditure so they have a mandate to invest in this or that program or infrastructure.

Some folk sit of very valuable mineral resources, which if mined would end their welfare dependency for all time. The fact that a single Elder can veto that mineral development and mining, needs to stop! Those communities where this C.R.A.P, is practised should have their welfare checks held until these practices are verboten.

If the community decide? They want to ban very reasonable and profitable projects due to stone age BS, myth and legend? then let them wear the consequences that would also apply to any other Australian community that endorsed such views, except where the only objection was based on missing value-adding!

I agree with Hasbeen and hold, we just cannot allow any more of this tail wags the dog BS, just to buy a few votes!

Roger Steele and Don Fuller have experienced it all over the years. They will get no where as the Aboriginal industry is too big for even the politicians to tackle. Run by Uni educated, nil experience bodies or uni drop outs, they are well versed in keeping the industry going and having a good job for life. Pity about the people they are supposed to help. The Aboringinal; people are also very smart in manipulation of anyone who may have a dollar to spend. A favourite saying from one of my dear friends (RIP) “you white people are stupid you know” At times it is a big game and she could see kit all.

Why should we treat aboriginal children differently to white children?

White Australian children are also failing miserably at being good citizens.

We have the worst education system in world history, it's failing ALL children.
