Why do some indigenous communities thrive? Why do some indigenous grasp the opportunities, especially in education and employment and get on with their lives?

If you need a victim excuse for dependency you are welcome to it. Your monkey, your back and your wasted life.

Prisoners are getting looked after better than pensioners, especially when it comes to health services. They also get pretty good access to education if they so choose.
Dental care in prison appears to be exceptional in comparison to the outside.

I have often touched on this subject with mates. We agree that if you reach 70 or 80, and run out of money, you might as well rob a bank.

You will at best, getaway with it, or at worst go to jail where you receive three squares a day, a bed and, as a bank robber at 80, probably a hero.

It's a sad story, but there is some truth in it because as an old age pensioner, either you've done well and get no support in return for your efforts, or, you leave your dignity at the door and prepare for a life of neglect, or at least the remainder of it.

Many pensioners must scratch their heads and ask themselves, why did I bother.

A wasted life......See people like Tony abbit..hence the reality of just a bit of thinking, while in school, (he had dreams very much like our new leaders of tomorrow), and playing as a child, he never gave one thought, like all of us at that age........ he forgets:)( as a child)the men and women which made his life possible, and yet, the same people that welcomed him into the world, now little tony also makes the same people work from the cradle to the grave.

I got this from a patriot or pensioner from central station in Sydney. He put so much life and tax into the country, he sat there and told me his complete life story, while little tony played in his sandbox, not thinking of the man that passed him in the streets so many years ago, with a smile on his face, not thinking of the times to come as he spoke from his heart, embracing his morning newspaper and the old Holden his so loved and cherished.

Shame TONY Shamed...how soon we forget......that old man died three weeks later.

Maybe our new leaders should forget about you.....When your no longer useful.....

I can't agree with you on this one rehctub. I'm a pensioner, & I think the pension is quite generous.

As a late starter, I was only getting rid of the kids when I retired, & didn't have time to build up much of a bankroll. So it's a matter of "I spent my money on the kids, so now YOU must pay", & I think you pay handsomely.

I have some assets, but fortunately I've been here over the mandatory 20 years, so the property doesn't count as an asset. Very fortunately actually, as about the only way you could earn a living growing stuff on 20 acres around here would be to grow pot, & I'm not into that. It was fine for a few horses, but not much use agriculturally.

I don't feel forgotten ORIGINS OF MAN, in fact I feel damn lucky to have the taxpayer keep me while I still enjoy my property, the last couple of kids old horses still around, & my old cars.

I came back to Oz in 77 with effectively stuff all. You couldn't sell a business in PNG at that time, every one was getting out. In 20 years I was worth over a million, so it was not too hard.

If it weren't for councils, I could be worth a couple more. If I could split off half a dozen 2 acre blocks, as I could just 8 years ago, I'd be right out of your wallet for ever, but for some ratbag greenie rubbish, I must now keep this place as "private open space".

So fair is fair I suppose. If the people of Brisbane want control of my property, they have to pay for the privilege with my pension, even if it is only a few ratbags that want, or even know it. They are not allowed on it, they can only look at it. However for the greenie ratbags, the fact that they control what I can do with my property, bought & paid for by me, is enough to answer their wet dreams.
