Er...that's not the case in dysfunctional communities mired in destructive generational welfare dependency.

"Influencer" is a new millennial term for doing SFA for money...... sounds about right for this application too.  Grin

I think you would find the use of "mentor" a more realistic descriptor.


Ok, so it's a matter of definition; I'll accept 'mentor', except I had in mind a more casual contact who just happens to give the right advice at the the right time, to cause an individual to make the right "choice"....that's where the luck comes in, in an already dysfunctional environment.

And would you believe there are & have been thousands of mentoring programs & mentors put to guiding troublesome Aboriginal youth over the decades.....


Yes ...and all these programs have failed to address the community dysfunction in which individuals must somehow manage. 

Quote:
why is it they haven't had a major impact on the associated problems?


Answered above.

Nothing will change the problems of the Aborigines other than mass deportation and re-education as dividie wants...  ship 'em out and shape 'em up...

So let's bury this voice nonsense and get on with the real issues.... such as Pig Iron Penny rattling the chocolate sabre while selling to the troublemakers...

Hey, that's what you said was YOUR solution,  a few days back.

The real issues are

1. closing the gap:

......by understanding we all need to work to prosper, which will need govt. to act as employer of last resort (ELR), given the profit-driven, competitve private-sector is unable - and nor is it the private sector's role - to fulfill that function.

2. Flogging Oz's most lucrative export to its largest buyer....or suffer a catastrophic reduction in living standards. That's why Forrest and McGowan make regular trips to China, forget Wong.

That's the only time the term is used dickhead.

& it's not Facebook alone... it's most social media & MSM along with the likes of Youtube, Tik tok, Twitter etc.

In every other sphere the term "mentor" is used.

Answered above.



And is that not exactly what a "mentor" does?

No one said it was someone "full time".

Mentoring can be a casual arrangement or something more regular.

With the appropriation of the word "influencer" to the millennial IT brigade it has now been bastardised to mean a career/job promoting all sorts of concepts let alone ever be thought of as some sort of social guidance for wayward youth in how to live your life.

No, a mentor is a longer-term teacher.

Over the longer term.  How long are you going to keep denying  luck is ONE factor involved in escaping dysfunctional communities....so that you can persist with your nonsense that government can't assist in engendering positive change?

Whatever...now back to topic at hand: how does the nation close the gap?

[Abbott's testimony yesterday will surely sound the death knell for the voice..... so the task of closing the gap will remain].

Maybe ... but that can be on a very casual & a long term basis ... you nit picker.

And if some one is to "influence" some one it would be for more than 5 minutes.  Roll Eyes

What does "have a free vote" actually mean?

States who over ride the Federal issue & introduce so called "voices" through there own system are grandstanding idiots.

Anything binding has to be through the Australian constitution & to circumvent that on a state level is stupidity as is amending the constitution based on race.
