MDFF 25 October 2014

You will now have gained an insight into how “Consultations” by the Australian authorities in their “Engagement Process” with Indigenous Australians are done.

And now something to cheer you up, do yourself a favour, indulge me with another 25 minutes of your life, listen to Rosalie Kunoth-Monks:

She says it so much better than I ever could. She is living it, I’m co-existing it.

The answer is right there for everyone to hear. Rosalie Kunoth-Monks and people like her have the answer. They speak the words of wisdom, from the heart.

If only they’d ask the right questions, if only they’d listen to the answers!
