Shire of Halls Creek employs Dean Mosquito ahead of Voice to Parliament referendum

Well - if you choose to live in the Ning Nang Nong, you take the downside of it as well.

Just HTF does anyone imagine this 'Voice' will assist a single mother in finding a job and getting more than her current entitlements under Social Security?  How is some 'voice' going to change that?

Do any of you think at all?  Is it so hard to see that you simply cannot put such a concept as a single mother in a remote area finding a job etc into the 'voice' basket?

"The food and rents are too high," he said.

"I'm working and earning money; imagine a single mother with kids trying to buy food.

"There is overcrowding and people are paying high rent to live on their own land."

Times are different now.... you are in no way restricted from going out to catch a roo or something on what is now Crown land, so clearly you are not 'living your way'.

That aside... here's your chance, dividie - you sweet-cheeked little thing sitting in Labor HQ trying desperately to sell us this guff - get out there, pack 'em all up,  put 'em on the reservation where they can access bulk and thus cheaper foods etc, build that fabulous hospital the White Man's Way within cannon shot of all of them (kinda restricts the size of the reservation though - but think of the cost of that lowest class free air service already provided - you know - treated like scum out there waiting for that plane - build that hospital and save on flying ambulances, eh?  win-win!) - regularly truck in Macca's for the franchise etc through the huge gates, make sure their annual freebie budget goes to proper housing direct etc, and train them to actually do the fuking work and be paid for working (what a shock to the system = total shutdown from shock).... then the other side of things - PENALISE their head group for failures in rubbish collection, school attendance, damage to homes, anti-social behaviour, crime etc.... make 'em pay for it like a white man.....

That'll cut your rents and food and fuel prices, eh?  Give plenty of 'em real work and incomes... provide first class health care right on the job, lower prices due to bulk supplies.... you know... all those cunning economic factors you so proudly proclaim all day without a single solution... jeez - they could even chase a roo or two if they wanted... visit their 'sacred sites' like that one in Queensland they've never been excluded from and which is nothing unless seen from the air etc.... no big eel there... then there's jurisprudence - they can do things their way and spear every arsehole who goes bad as much as they like... we'll turn a blind eye...

Give 'em their own passports and then they can apply for a visa like anyone else to come here.....

Some might want to emigrate though and take the King's Shilling and become Australians again..... we'd need to put them through a very careful screening process, of course, but I'm amenable to that idea.

You know what?  The Reservations idea was tried in the US... all it does is breed crime and brutality and hopelessness, and countless young women abused and often disappearing annually.... sound remotely familiar yet?

See  - that's where it goes off the rails - from being a purely advisory body, it is now developing a power of its own in the land....

Why are people so stupid as to believe that a purely advisory body will change anything apart from the bank balances of those who 'work' in it at public cost?

This is just another cult fantasy, and as such will get out of hand ....

Vote NO for sanity ...............

They have to make themselves employable, even when employed by government: be presentable, turn up on time, stay to the end, perform tasks as directed. Unless there is a coercive mechanism (slavery) individuals must make themselves employable.


Remote Aborigines - there are a few hundred people in these settlements. They would know each other personally. Why can't  they get together and work together? Are the delinquent, criminal rapists in the majority in these settlements? If not, how come the rest can't pull together? Why arent the Stan Grant's there helping them pull together and straighten out their lives by cleaning up their houses and streets and themselves and get organised?
