Expectations placed on governments of any brand are higher than they have ever been. The silly thing about this is that people demanding that governments attend to each and every matter (in this case, aboriginal health) actually acknowledge that governments are inefficient, bureaucratic and slow - but they also believe that these same governments will rise to the occasion next time some action is needed, if they make a fuss!

Before Australia was handicapped by too much government, as it is now, volunteer groups looked after people who slipped through the cracks. But now, Big Brother has made it very onerous for people to volunteer: police checks, mandatory vaccination, political correctness, gender and race awareness, and who knows what. But, if those now doing a whinge about poor, poor aborigines are genuine, they would be prepared to go through the hoops and give their time. That, or shut TFU.

Indy,

Sit down money (on a bar stool), in the El Dorado Lounge at God's Waiting Room, schooner in one hand, feverously pushing buttons on multiple poker machines with the other! Call in between 11 and 3 any weekday and there's 95% of the Aged Welfare mob at "work". AND they all vote LIBERAL.

AND they all vote LIBERAL.
Paul1405,
That's funny considering it is a Labor held seat ! What's not so funny is your insipid, nonsensical quipping which has nothing whatsoever to do with "your Peoples'" Health.
If it were up to you there wouldn't be any welfare so they'd become extinct so you could forever bleat racism & genocide which is really all you'd like to see happening just to bolster your insidious agenda.
If the Australian indigenous have one real enemy, it's you !

I'll take your word for that Paul. It does sound as if you are an expert on these things, like any regular would be. It is over 50 years since I've been in a pub or club with those things, so I wouldn't know

Indy,

According to you 95% of public servants vote Labor, I believe 95% of Aged Welfare stool warmers down at God's Waiting Room vote Liberal. Do you have a problem with that? I'm all ears.

I'm all ears.
Paul1405,
Every hanger-on I know is a labor voter & by the looks of it in SA they're the majority there !
