It is said morale is low with JAG employees, but much worse among the Corrective services ranks , so the solution? don't release the figures as is, separate the entities, show a better result. Bob

You'd struggle to find a phone book or street directory these days, wouldn't you?
It'll be even better when the govt gets their way and decides the young ones don't need to be able to write because everything is typed these days - can't read or write - the clever country - here we come!

The only people qualified to make Aboriginal problems solvable, are educated indigenous leaders. Short on the ground, at the moment. but enough to make a difference. I know some would condemn certain remote Indigenous communities over child abuse , & violence , I can't see any difference to mainstream Australia, with the evidence from a couple of enquiries atm, Catholic Church, any one? State child institutions, any one?
To call this an aboriginal problem, highlights a persons mindset , straight away. It is an Australian problem. No worse than " mainstream " Australia , just easier to see. And easy to use the term, Aboriginal, as an excuse. Bob

I with my family returned to Qld in 1982 :)
