Diver Dan: The police exacerbate social turmoil with “holier than thou pomposity”. Are invariable recruited from an elite in society with little or no respect or empathy towards Aboriginal culture and less care. They are seen to parade their pomposity and superiority in a ruthless pogrom of arrest with violence.

That statement is a bloody great load of cods wollop!

How Much Longer can this Continue?
How about letting the indigenous putting their cards on the table & let non-indigenous know where they would like to go from here.
Let's hear of their committment to forge ahead & how they envisage their future in say 10 years from now.
Non-indigenous might be surprised.

The people that run the various Aboriginal organizations don't want their peoples conditions getting better. It would mean that they would be out of a good paying job & they couldn't make their fundings just disappear, as they do.

A few years ago in Townsville there was a problem with an Aboriginal camp in the middle of town. They were camped around a rail bridge. The place, apart from being unsightly, stunk, because they used the creek bank as a toilet. I approached two of the senior Aboriginal Administrators, (I forget the name of it at the time, It changes) & asked if they could supply some portable toilets for them. I was abused for my concern. A few weeks later they were done for making their funding disappear... again.

Jayb,
I know exactly where you're coming from. In the northern Peninsula & the Strait, Labor watched several communities get deeper & deeper into trouble over 25 years. Then, they turned around & introduced amalgamation. Now, why the hell didn't they interfere twenty or fifteen years ago ? Why not ? Because many of the senior bureaucrats weren't due for retirement so, sanctioned by Labor the rorts continued till it was safe to put a pseudo halt to it. Now of course it's perhaps worse with a different lot hanging off the funding teats. The most disgusting side of it in my view is that Labor got in under the promise of stopping the rorting not making it an entire industry.

Hasbeen I agree with every word.
And am deeply concerned,why is it so?
Just look at some posts that one about the police is as described by another,
'STOP! stop the idea the answer is to dump them on a rubbish tip of our making.
Stop blaming them/us, blame both sides but change now.
Not the vegetables of the public service.
Not the bleeding hearts of Christianity or extreme left.
Stop ignoring the truth, lack of education/understanding/accountability sees the filth runner describes every hour of everyday.
What is wrong with paternalism if the end result is a few steps [for all] toward a better life.
Come tell me, would we get away with letting ANY MIGRANT GROUP LIVE LIKE THIS?
A job, a home, a school no sit down dole, nothing for nothing, accountability, child care or no children take them.
Tough love but real love is the answer.

Belly,
25 tears ago in Qld the then Director of DAIA was callously ousted by the then Labor opposition in one of the most vicious campaigns for doing exactly that.
I agree with your post but sadly, most of the left find it easier to be hypocritical.
I was there when no-one in the community walked aimlessly around & when gardens were everywhere. Wayne Goss made sure it didn't stay that way.
