G’day,
I’ve often maintained that the Dispatches write themselves. A friend made my day, sent me the attached (below) stupendous flow chart.
Go with the flow… http://youtu.be/gVUfju_kn04
Canada’s National Aboriginal Day is held annually on June 21 to celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures, and outstanding achievements of the nation’s Aboriginal peoples. There are three Aboriginal groups in Canada – the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
On the very same day (21st.June) in Australia this year we celebrated the 5th. anniversary of the shock and awe announcement of the Intervention (Northern Territory Emergency Response-NTER).
It is great to see how Australia ‘the land of the fair go’, Australia ‘the clever country’ is ‘moving forward’.

Those Canadians haven’t a clue. Oh Canada…. http://youtu.be/V8Z-ZC4P4q0 Bet they don’t have a fabulous flow chart like ours.
All you need do is open the attached legendary flow chart, and the wonderful world of Closing the Gap, moving forward to Stronger Futures will be revealed to you.
You will also see that all the heavy lifting from deciding what needs to be done to doing it is almost exclusively done by non-Aborigines.
All yapa need do is relax sit back and watch the Gap Closing without lifting a finger, all in the English Language with a POA (Plethora of Acronyms) as they are propelled into Stronger Futures.
Hallelujah! http://youtu.be/lUHqt4SldHE (Someday I’ll tell you how in 1955, I was smuggled into el Teatro Colón where the Thomaner choir were performing, but that is another story)
Honestly, take the trouble to open the attached breathtaking flow chart, it will make your day. You will be enchanted.
Some enchanted evening…..
http://youtu.be/4pqRl2GH_uc (In Darwin there was a house that had a bed-sheet sign hanging from the balcony…. “The Perry Como Fan Club” … one of life’s regrets, despite being tempted I didn’t join up- Cyclone Tracy blew their sign away)
Presumably the Northern Territory Police falls within the blue box ‘Other State/NT Agencies’ on the fantastic flow chart.
Yuendumu Police put up a sign that includes the following: “ Police would like to remind all residents that all MVR (Motor Vehicle Registry) business is still conducted on a Wednesday at the Yuendumu Police Station however if this does not suit there are two MVR offices located in Alice Springs operating Monday-Friday. If your vehicle is unregistered and/or un-roadworthy DO NOT DRIVE IT !!!!! …”
They forgot to add the welcome news that on Monday-Friday there are also MVR offices operating at Tennant Creek, Katherine and Darwin.
On several occasions I have informed Dispatchees that Alice Springs is app. 300 Km due east-south of here. I have also informed you that the distance from Limburg to Friesland (one extreme of the Netherlands to the other) of my country of birth is also app.300Km.
Have you read Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 ?
If you can think of how a Yuendumu resident can get to the MVR in Alice Springs with an unregistered vehicle without driving it, please let me know.
Have you read Phillip Roth’s Portnoy’s Complaint ? Why do I think the designers of the mind-blowing flow chart suffer from it?
See ya’s
Frank
PS At the risk of overdoing the bliss and happiness this Dispatch has brought you, here a couple of songs:
