Hola,
In the Alice Springs News a Letter to the Editor commenting on the election results in the electorate of Lingiari, which covers virtually the whole Northern Territory, starts off with: “As someone who once lived in the NT and has a daughter who has worked for years for the Aboriginal community, and a son-in-law who works with the Yothu Yindi Band, I am not speaking out of ignorance when I say that if…..”
What a nonsense!
As someone who has a son who works in IT, I am not speaking out of ignorance when I say that if……
So how then do you explain that when I tried to do an on line superannuation withdrawal I managed, after 5 hours of trying, to get my account blocked and will have to resort to ordinary mail?
I hear it all the time:
”Why don’t Aborigines do this…..?” “Why don’t they do that…? “Why don’t they grow their own veggies…?” “Why don’t they get a job….?”

Just turn this on its head. A delegation of Warlpiri go to Frankston in Victoria ”Why don’t you kardiya do this…..?” “Why don’t you do that….? Better still, launch a military backed Intervention…. in the Warlpiri language. Festoon Franston with signs: “No alcohol” “No Greed” “No value Judgements”

Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?

Myself, am not lacking in opinions, but heaven forbid I should think I’m always right and have all the answers:
