Ngurrju mayi-nkulu?

In 2008 Professor Fiona Stanley gave the Hawke Lecture, which she titled ‘The Greatest Injustice’

Half a decade later that Greatest Injustice shows no signs of amelioration.

I had every intention of dealing with ‘Health’ in this Dispatch, when a speech by Olga Havnen found its way into my virtual mail box.

For those poor in time (such as those of you that haven’t the time to click on the musical links in the Dispatches- Wiyarpa!), I can strongly recommend you DO read Olga’s speech which is hereto attached Click Here.

Reading Olga’s 15 or so pages speech could save you a lot of other reading if you’re interested (as most Dispatchees are) in the grave Injustice being visited upon Aboriginal Australia.

I definitely can’t deal with the subject of ‘Health’ better than Olga has, so I’ll save my usual dose of ironic/satiric/cynical utterances for other matters.

TO BE CONTINUED Next Saturday

HOMEWORK Read Olga’s paper, there will be a test!
