Dear Josephus,
«We live in a free and equal society and people choose where they want to live, and what they want to eat.» Yes we are all free to choose where we WANT to live, etc. But most of us don't get to choose where we actually live. Aboriginals have the choice to live their old lifestyle in the bush or the modern lifestyle in towns and cities, or even to have the best of both. Non-aboriginals do not have this privilege. Why not have a Voice for ALL those who wish to live the aboriginal way (and other alternate lifestyles) and be left alone out in the bush, regardless of their ancestry? Our mortality is none of government's business, including where and how we give birth, since we never asked for their "help". Posted by Yuyutsu, Friday, 6 October 2023 5:45:16 PM

What an indictment, 235 years after the European brought it to this land, and 50 years since a case in the white population, tuberculosis raises its ugly head again in the Aboriginal population of South Australia. Now, does that tell us something?

Josephus,
All they are asking is to be given the chance to advise. They know their own people and what will work in their communities. Besides governments will have the control. Why are you so against giving this a chance? It will work if all of us work together. It's an ongoing process. This is a start. It hasn't worked in the past because government did not listen or implement what was being advised. We have to make this official - and give our Indigenous people a seat at the table to be listened to. I wish that I could Sing like Farnham With a Voice to stir Your soul Try as I might To sing out loud Your soul I can't control So I ask of you As an Australian To find it in your heart To please vote YES In the polling booth So equality We can impart.

It will only work if they force young pregnant aboriginal women to attend pre-natal and post-natal clinics and remove them from the isolation of the bush camps and the old primitive birthing culture, and from the abuse of their husbands. Their food sources are not suitable for infants unless babies are removed from mothers at birth or the mother also removed from the camp, into care in the closest towns.
We live in a free and equal society and people choose where they want to live, and what they want to eat. Mortality in aboriginal children has always been extreme in the past, which is why only one point three million remained after 65,000 years. Doubling the population every thousand years from two - at thirty thousand years it stands at 173,635,456. What were the causes of death in infants before 1788? Obviously, a lot of dead or murdered infants.
