Might be time for you to discuss getting blacks off welfare dependency, into paid jobs.

Yeah, these guys are crying out for work. "GISSA JOB" they are shouting every day from non, when the bottle-o opens.

As usual you are looking at the consequences of welfare dependency rather than its causes.

Those people have NEVER experienced a household with a regular employment ethos.

I do not buy that sob story for one minute. No welfare dependency MAKES people treat each other, their women and children, the way some of these remote Aborigines do.

You are missing the context: low morale leading to social dysfunction among the survivors of a destroyed hunter-gatherer culture.

What 'morale' does a desperate survival mode hunter gatherer have?

Every other culture on earth has had to adapt - all that is required is the willingness to do so, and that is something not remotely encouraged in this lot. They are, in reality, being kept as a museum piece via this nonsensical encouragement of a 'culture' that hardly existed and no longer exists - so Aborassic Park is not outside the realm of probability for the future.... Gondwanamo Bay for the violent recalcitrants.

Your theories border on fantasy, dividie. Get out of that school more and into the real world.

The nub:

Here lies the real danger for Albanese and voice supporters. Australians are a practical people who want to see First Australians do better. They would probably support a voice that gave Aboriginal Australians a say in policies specifically directed at Aboriginal issues. They would no doubt support a factual recognition in the Constitution that this land was settled before the British arrived.

But they will surely heed voice opponents such as this paper’s Paul Kelly, Greg Sheridan and Albrechtsen if they suspect the voice will get powers to advise governments in all aspects of public policy. Think climate change, tax policy and foreign affairs for starters.
...
But history would surely judge Albanese harshly if either the voice failed for lack of consultation or succeeded only to prove far more powerful – and disruptive to good government – than Albanese suggested.

Here the media needs balance. Voice campaigning has already taken a toll on media credibility.
Chris Mitchell

Many of us can’t see the benefits to disadvantaged aborigines in giving a small group of unelected activists constitutional authority to form a permanent bureaucracy at the heart of government. These activists have been pushing at an open door for 50+ years with governments and the courts largely giving them all they ask for …..and what happens to the disadvantaged Aborigines? Their squalor, neglect, delinquency, crime have only increased.

Yes, the activists - misled by mainstream economics - think giving demoralized people 'sit-down money' will improve community functionality.

It won't: the costly poverty industry (....I mean "welfare" industry) attests to that.

You've got to establish personal agency through providing above-poverty work, organised at the local level.

Two of the country's most gruesome ideologues: Janet (and Judith Sloane) on neoliberal free-market Thatcherite economics; and Sheridan on Conservative Judeo--Christian ideology.

I will assume my comments about your favourites - the gruesome Greg and Janet - have upset you.

But you still have to confront the poverty industry, a creature of YOUR inadequate free market ideology.
