Andrew Thorburn tipped to take on the role of CEO for the ‘Two little Boys outreach program for wretched and disgraced first Australians’
Good morning to you all. Another from our scribe from the North-West Frontier.
It’s with some justifiable pride we present this episode of ‘Musical Dispatches’, as it’s wholly endorsed by the N.T police, Safer Futures, the Zac Rolfe Foundation, and the ‘Two Little Boys outreach program for wayward, wretched and disgraced first Australians’.
Not only do they have a handle on law and order, but can guarantee ‘birth to grave assistance” along with the dozen or so other NGO’s at Yuendumu the promise of a streamlined, and institutionalised existence with all performance KPI’s and Best practice metrics met. And if you don’t believe us we have graphs and pie charts to prove it.
Uphold the Right….are we not WHITE MEN ALL’?
But for the moment, we have it on good authority that Yuendumu’s very own Aristotle, the veritable Herodotus of the Homestead, the Mark Twain of the Telegraph Station, the Ion Idress of the Interior writes to us. And believe it or not, he’s stuck to the telly watching the Zac Rolfe saga unwind. Will there be justice for Zac? We can only hope so. he’s got a breast full of shiny medals, mates in high places and has served in Afghanistan with the likes of Benny Boy Roberts Smith. Are there cliffs to roll the guilty off at Yuendumu? We can only hope so.
Because in the end those who uphold the right, carry guns, paramilitary gear and wear head to toe black, are as we used to say, ( ‘TRUE WHITE-MEN’!).
And they come sponsored via CSR and Bex…

Hola,
Someone once sent me a brilliant cartoon which was titled “Shit Happens”. In it were a series of drawings depicting various religions:
Catholicism- If shit happens, it is your fault.
Islam- If shit happens, it is Allah’s will.
And my favourite:
NT Police identikit image of Kumanjayi Walker
Judaism- Why does shit always happen to us?
As a resident of Yuendumu I’ve been watching a fair bit of the live streaming of the Kumanjayi Walker coronial inquest. I suspect not many Warlpiri people are watching it, not just because it is all rather distressing and personal, but also because the proceedings are rather alien to them.
The purpose of a coronial inquest is to seek answers to a series of questions:
What shit happened? Why did shit happen? How can shit be prevented from happening again?
One of the questions being canvassed at the current inquest is:
“Is there systemic racism in sections of the Northern Territory police?”
What can I say?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Chau,
Frank
Ojala the inquest will be a bridge over troubled waters:
