It seems we agree the problem is with the poor allocation of resources mostly by non-Aboriginal people. Therefore it's not an 'Aboriginal problem'.
A play on words. Semantics. If not aboriginal, whose problem is it?Quote:

I do agree that the ultimate solutions have to come from Aboriginal communities owning the attempts to solve local problems, but keep in mind there has been two centuries of outside interference in these communities and their ability to self-manage has been severely reduced.Quote:

The gutter style politics are now the accepted norm in this country.

It's beyond interesting, quite fascinating actually.
Dark Emu is reviewed in Aboriginal History, Volume 38, 2014 , Australian National University.. The review is on page 195. Page 221 has a review of the book, " the aboriginal story of Burke and Wills, the forgotten narrative". Interesting.
