That's you in a nutshell ... you have no idea about certain peoples mindset......
Ok, lets see what you got.... [but note: the Alice Springs Police Commissioner himself recently said the problem of crime in the Alice is related to welfare dependency: and kids are too scared to go home at night for fear of abuse by dysfunctional drunken adults].
Quote:especially that of generational & in some cases career welfare recipients. They do not possess a work ethic & that's something that is growing across generations.
Well... so you now agree; generational welfare dependency is a problem, though I see you are still persisting with your ignorance that people choose it ("career welfare recipients").
But people only "choose it" because they can, in the absence of alternative employment opportunities.
Hence the need for a JG, to eliminate the possibility of that choice.
1+ 1 = 2
Quote:I don't know who your Prof. Tcherneva is but I'd suggest they, if of a similar mindset to you that you'd better get your "voices" to Parliament & get this situation sorted once & for all ......
She is a post Keynesian economist, repudiating the current mainstream neoclassical orthodoxy responsible for the current economic dysfunction in the world.
Quote:especially as you & he/she think you have all the answers & are so much more intelligent than all those who have gone before you ...politicians, professional bureaucrats, social scientists, academics etc etc whose joint efforts over 60 years have yet to solve the endemic problems within regional & remote Aboriginal communities..
Unfortunately the current crop of neoclassical economists in academia are financed by wealthy corporation bosses who benefit the most from the present neoliberal market system; entrenched poverty amid soaring inequality doesn't concern them.
Quote:despite the 100's of billions of dollars in building infrastructure for housing, education, health & employment in those communities.
and yet welfare dependency is still 'tolerated' - actualy enforced -
and people are living in broken hovels, with the worst health outcomes in the nation. Quote:BTW the 2 nd highlight I made ... I wasn't just referring to Aboriginals .... in the main it's non Aboriginal ferals.
Indeed: welfare dependency is THE barrier to prosperity, for blacks and non-blacks; we all have to work in order to prosper.
They broke them ... & turned them into hovels.
Why because they don't know how to live in them & conduct themselves with respect & hygiene ... for something provided for them for SFA at taxpayer expense.
You know you're as bad as that ex-Labor Minister windbag Graham Richardson who went to the NT to visit remote communities ... coming back & saying Aboriginals were living in 3rd world conditions living in corrugated iron, steel framed houses on cement floors......
never asked anyone why that was so ..... it was because they lit fires inside & burnt down houses made of timber & other materials.
You can't burn down steel framed corrugated iron houses.
They also featured a community elder saying their public toilets weren't working & all this water was leaking out the back in a stream that was thick with green algae.....
never mind that the reason for that was that the toilets had been vandalised & the ceramic bowls had been kicked & smashed.....
oh dear no one had come out to fix it ey?
But the men folk in the community ... you know the Bush Mechanic types? ... of course they couldn't fix it or make repairs ....
nah ... oppressor Capt Cook whitey had to come and fix it.
Richo ... like the worthless POS he was resigned & did a political runner not much later.
That's why I always cringe when they bring that 2 faced crud on as a political commentator at election times.
You can waffle your shyte until the cows come home, or the moon turns to blue cheese but in all honesty you & your Professor girlfriend would not have a god damned clue.
