Thank you, Jay - this is an eye-opener.

And yet there are smug idiots who oppose inter-group fostering. Surely the child should come first ? Aren't little children sacred ? So surely, unambiguously, culture comes second. If same-group fostering is possible, well and good, but not at the cost of a child's well-being.

Cheers,

Joe

Here's looking at things from a different perspective:

Thanks Lexi

Paints a very different picture than the one runner is trying to deceive us with.

The "outrage" is that people like runner feel they have some right to condemn and proscribe for aboriginal communities while ignoring the filth that goes on in their own tribes.

What was that about motes in eyes runner?

Lexi, Walter Shaw's article tells it like it is. Unfortunate both the ALP and Coalition have failed the Aboriginal people. One problem is indigenous people do not have political representation in Australia and the mainstream parties do not see Aboriginals as a priority. I am totally in favor of self determination, but without political representation that is difficult to achieve. I support the New Zealand model of providing exclusively, indigenous seats in parliament, the Maori have 7 seats and from firsthand experience the system works well over there and I see no reason such a system could not work in Australia.

we know you can't accept democracy Paul but have you not seen what the Labour quota for woman has produced. The most incompetent, immoral Government this country has seen.
