yes Moondoggy i mentioned demountables, and much more has been trashed.
the entire middle management of women's and men's business has been ripped out and the elders cop the flak.
i'm so excited a Republic of Australia will have the first women's legislature of the modern era,
just as First Australians celebrate women's legislatures of the ancient era.

So I take it that no one cares that housing has been promised and not one has been built as yet, or that the costs per house appear astronomical.

So the two blokes were wasting their time suggesting ways to get the job done and obtain better results for taxpayers money.

A Dobrowich.
You are right in one sense it was and clearly from your perspective it truly is a case of because you're not like us that whitey feels the need to convert etc.
Consider this, If we were to swap two babies at birth between "stonage culture" and our 'superior' (sic?) 21st century one and raise the children in those alternative cultures then compare the results at say 25 the one raised in the white culture would apart from physical differences would be indistinguishable from others in the same environment.
Now given that nature(evolution) devolves(eliminates) unnecessary features why then are there not lessor IQ differences?
what can we draw?
a. Logically then the IQ (smarts etc) are needed/used by the 'primitives'. (their cultures don't inhibit their humanity intelligence empathy etc.)

b. following that evolution changes and not necessarily in a lateral or forward direction then how can you in all logical honesty have such pejorative views of stone age cultures?
Can I humbly suggest that perhaps their culture better suit the circumstances of their natural state.By comparison the Shaman culture tend to be happier and exhibit less stress, greater individual empowerment than many posters seem to indicate.

The problem with mass cultures is that we demand absolutism we can't tolerate other cultures....yet the same isn't true of most 'primitive' cultures.
The problem with these cultures is that the cross overs always leaves
the person in no where land struggling for identity.

Then we have the mismatch of concepts as in languages...most shamanistic cultures/languages are literal, no abstracts no superlatives or adjectives as such. e.g there are 52 words for smoke.
No you try and translate " I go to my father and prepare a mansion in his home for you" to the literal minded it interpolates and a right to goods so why not now?

The point is the damage has been done what is at issue is what to do about it. Pejorative assumptions and racial stereotyping only widen the understanding gap.

Banjo whether the two blokes are wasting their time
depends on how long before
Australia becomes an equal rights republic.

Why are some self-managing communities safe and healthy places for women and children (yes, for men too) yet others are not? Why are they different and who makes it so?

Housing is not the answer. Self worth is and you do not find that in a selfish selfcentred useless culture of petrol, drugs, and alcohol so seek yea first the kingdom of God and all needs are met. There is ONLY one way out of the mess of this world system and that way is found in Jesus. Lock up the Cape, lock up the rivers, cut out the choices and eventualy we must turn to God because he is the only hope in a world of hopelessness. If "My people" who are called by my name would Humble themselves and TURN from their wicked ways and cry out to me, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.
Jesus said "I am the door" there is no other way. All other man made kingdoms fail. My doctor who is first a christian then am iniated tribal man tells me culture is the excuse used to cover self. And it is a poor substitute to the robe of righteousness only supplied by trusting Jesus as the "Lifesaver". So all men have a choice to make.
Sing along with Frank Sinatra "I did it my way" or cry out "Come Lord Jesus come".
