Dear Joe,

I don't view the data given in my earlier link
the same way that you do. The facts presented speak
for themselves. I don't think anyone is "decrying"
anything. Merely pointing out that yes there have
been achievements but there is still much to be done.
We can draw conclusions about the data and consider
the questions that the statistics raise.

Change doesn't come from people being comfortable and
complacent. It is not enough to keep citing the statistics
of achievement whilst downplaying the juvenile justice
crisis, high rates of incarceration of all age groups, the
funding of non-indigenous organisations to do indigenous
work, the collapse of indigenous bodies and so on.
Education is the key.

The wider community has to learn
about these things so that there would be an out-cry. They
need to be told what is still happening today. And the
fact the we still have a long way to go with our indigenous
people. Stressing only the positive does not do them any
favours.

Foxy,

No, but it shows what's possible. Amazing. How do people manage to slag Indigenous university participation, as if it's a bad thing ? Amazing.

Joe,

No one is saying that Indigenous achievement at university
is a bad thing. No one.

All that is being asked is that the problems that the
indigenous people still face not be brushed aside.
We still have a long way to go in this country.

What is amazing is that you are getting all hot and
bothered about it. Why?

rhoss,

It is astounding that any of the behavioural science graduates and academics can go along with such utter rot as 'the wound' and effects of 'lingering injustice', while realising the connotations, deliberately crafted.

In some quarters science has becoming anything but scientific. But the feminists were notorious for that, so it is nothing new.

50 years on and science is well and truly under attack from the leftists, who hate science with a passion.
