Maybe my post to you will not be posted. Closing the Gap Statement with further $$$$$'s - why? When nothing has been addressed in the past decades for Indigenous Communities. 1. Extensive continued child abuse within communities - has this been addressed via Activists - no - they are silent. 2. Children not attending school - with no consequences. Has this issue been addressed by Activists who are "so called" concerned with indigenous children - not to my knowledge. 3. Children wandering around the city at night - children at the age of 9 plus years of age, their reason being "It's safer on the streets than at home"....seriously? Has this issue been addressed by Activists stating our Government not "Closing the Gap"? If -according to Activists - Australia isn't "closing the gap". When then do the Indigenous Community take responsibility for their own children in ensuring they are being brought up in a safe and secure home situation.

Hi SAINTS,
We need to rightly ask those questions and look at all the causes, not just point out the problems but look at the causes and the solutions. Pointing out the problems only - and blaming blaming and looking at only one side of the coin is not enough. However as already mentioned - the Government's new approach of working with Indigenous leaders and Indigenous communities and making sure that they are involved in all decision making that concerns them is worth a try. Self determinatio0n is what they've been asking for all along and have been ignored. And the funding that they have received thus far has not gone to where it was needed. This new approach is worth trying. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 13 August 2021 9:56:01 AM

Hi SAINTS, Here's a link that I think is worth a read: http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/apr/07/white-australia-cant-solve-black-problems-white-australia-is-the-problem Makes you think. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 13 August 2021 10:34:14 AM

From the Guardian,
The system is not working. It has never worked for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Why not try a different approach in which the indigenous are working instead of the system ? Posted by individual, Friday, 13 August 2021 10:42:48 AM
