visit either a national library
Foxy,
I do sign in on Trove but just about 99% of what i want to get info on is not available on-line !
So, any other suggestions other than talking with your Library friends & tell them to do their job & make information available ?

Foxy,
Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, my old age pension doesn't allow me to keep travelling to the State Library as most of what I want to read is "not available online" !
Trove advertises all these brilliant services yet the moment I click on something of interest yes,
you guessed right it's "not available online " !
I'd have thought that after all these years of internet the Libraries would have more online content.

Indyvidual,

You were given the option of contacting them by mail.
An address is given in the link I cited. Either that
or you can contact them also by phone and they will take
your details and get back to you. Where else do you get
this kind of personal service?

Of course, you have to make the effort as well.

Foxy,
Providing article numbers & other reference is effort enough. When I asked for information a number of years ago I was literally ignored yet when an indigenous friend asked for exactly the same he wasn't even off the phone & the papers were on his doorstep !
Papers i had actually read in the State Library became mysteriously invisible to non-academic whites !
You were a librarian, you'd be aware of what's been developing.

Unless an indigenous Australian knocks on my door and explains why this is immensely important to them and why, it seems to me that the incumbent government itself wants me to support this path, and is actively manipulating a path to a successful outcome when it was the governments of this nation both then and now that created the problems...
(This in itself smells a bit off)

So with that in mind...

They (governments) didn't have the answers or correct policies 200 years ago, and they also didn't have the answers or correct policies 12 months ago, so why should I think the government suddenly has them now?

As it is, I'm sick of being vilified for stuff I haven't done, and the government doesn't give a crap about that, as it takes the heat off them.
[Don't blame us politicians, blame the white people]

Why are government posing as the answer to the problems, when they created said problems themselves?
Why would leaders sign away their powers, unless there was a bigger plan at play?
I bet not one of them would vote for a pay decrease...
So why does it make any sense that they would support a decrease of their own powers?

Is this 'Voice' thing actually good policy, or car salesmanship by lying manipulative pollies?
(who care more about what their globalist mates in the internationalist crowd think rather than their own constituents)

Can politicians even be trusted at all these days, none make decisions based on their citizens best interests?

Globalist authoritarians posing as democratic leaders whilst merely ruling us as branch managers for their elite higher-ups.

Unless someone can win me over on merit alone, my default position will be NO and I dare anyone to try and change it.
- I welcome it, give it your best shot.

You know ultimately, it feels like they're merely using the indigenous people to help them lay the foundations of some UN or elites global government agenda rather than genuinely wanting to help indigenous people.
