Noel Pearson receives $500,000,000 p/a, for his programs in Cape York and none of his programs show any changes in the society he represents. He is a radical left Marxist.

Quote Wicki "Noel Pearson (born 25 June 1965) is an Australian lawyer and founder of the Cape York Partnership, an organisation promoting the economic and social development of Cape York. He is also the Founder of Good to Great Schools Australia an organisation dedicated to lifting education outcomes for all Australian students."

"Pearson came to prominence as an advocate for Indigenous Australians' rights to land – a position he maintains.[1] Since the end of the 1990s his focus has encompassed a range of additional issues: he has strongly argued that Indigenous policy needs to change direction, notably in relation to welfare, substance abuse, child protection, education and economic development. Pearson criticises approaches to these problems which, while claiming to be "progressive", in his opinion merely keep Indigenous people dependent on welfare and out of the "real economy". He outlined this position in 2000 in his speech, The light on the hill.[2]

In the first decade of the 2000s, Pearson began outlining an alternative to traditional left-wing politics that he called radical centrism.[3][4] One part of his selected writings is entitled "The Quest for a Radical Centre".[5]

In November 2019, it was announced that Pearson would be one of 20 members of the Senior Advisory Group set up to help co-design the Indigenous voice to government.[6]"

"He is a radical left Marxist."

Answer- Thanks for your comments Josephus. Point of order though. I would say "I suspect/ think/ ... that he may be a radical left Marxist". I think that I agree with your understanding. That way it is clear that the comment is just your opinion or understanding not "a fact". It's still "ok" to give your opinion in a democracy. Even if it is actually a verified fact it's probably best to couch things in these terms. Unfortunately often language is used in shorthand form- on OLO the number of words is limited too- but some have used this sort of language to attack people such as Alex Jones through the courts. The ADL and SPLC seem to have used these apparently awful underhanded tactics but that sadly is the world we currently live in.

Josephus simpers: “He promotes half-truths as facts and misrepresents other people's posts with Left wing views.”

My God what gall.

Just look at the rest of his post. No attribution as usual. Why? To make it difficult for people to fact check the weasel.

For those who can be bothered here is the link: http://theconversation.com/factcheck-qanda-is-30-billion-spent-every-year-on-500-000-indigenous-people-in-australia-64658

You will see in between the blocks of text Josephus posted is the very clear statement:

“While it’s true Warren Mundine used the most up-to-date figures, his quote didn’t quite convey the full story. It didn’t get across the fact that only a really small chunk of the overall Indigenous spending is on Indigenous-specific programs. Most is on mainstream programs.
As the article notes, Productivity Commission estimates that only $5.6 billion or 18.6% of the $30 billion Mundine refers to is provided through Indigenous-specific or targeted services. The Productivity Commission does not examine how much of this $5.6 billion actually goes to Indigenous organisations within community or Indigenous peoples themselves – and how much is spent on government businesses.”

It totally supports the position I have been putting, which he found the temerity to label 'half-truths”.

He really can't help himself.

Hi Steele,

Unfortunately Proud Boy Jose's posts are littered with the lies and deceptions of a bigoted racists. The most galling thing about many racists like Jose', is they don't see themselves as being racists, in fact quite the opposite, they see themselves as the benign people of virtue who only want to help their black brothers and sisters, but they offer nothing except negative criticism and hate speak.

Kudos Kid, you really are orbiting somewhere out there to the far right of Pluto! Your fixation with Communists and Communism, defies reality, is that common practice with you Good Ole' Boys down in Alabama?

Cut the crap. Express your opinions on October 14th.

Kamahl, noticed in all the protests organized by the yes campaign the Communist flag was present. Beside this the protests present outside No campaigns of Jacinta Price the Marxist league were the major players with amplification shouting "Go to Hell Jacinta Price'. The Yes agenda is purely Marxist socialist, and they deceive the good will of the ignorant public.

Millions of taxpayer dollars are being poured into an Aboriginal education venture headed by prominent Indigenous leader Noel Pearson against departmental advice to the education minister that it should not receive any more federal government money.

A Sydney Morning Herald and Age investigation has spoken to more than 20 current and former employees of Good to Great Schools Australia, the not-for-profit education organisation founded and co-chaired by Mr Pearson, who say the organisation is “on its knees” under the leadership of chief executive Bernardine Denigan.

Good to Great Schools has received $10.8 million to launch a new program this year, despite evaluations that found the organisation’s previous program was not ready for scale and did not lead to any statistically significant results when compared with other schools.

The organisation’s flexible literacy for remote schools program - which received $31.55 million in federal government funding between 2014 and 2020 - served a peak of 35 schools across the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia in 2017.

But schools dropped off each year until just eight were still participating at the end of 2020.
