On the other hand, I'm not sure I have an argument at all on this. I can't seem to get much past feeling sick and depressed, which doesn't help anyone, of course. Fair point, Kim. On the other hand, I’m not sure I have an argument at all on this. I can’t seem to get much past feeling sick and depressed, which doesn’t help anyone, of course.

This is something that should happen for black and white, even if it's only a small proportion of their welfare cheque. I've seen kiddies on the street who haven't eaten or been bathed in days. I work with people who are left for days while their carers go and get drunk and the only people keeping them alive are over worked stressed clinic staff who won't allow another death on their concience. Call it emotive if you like, but come to Alice and see for yourself. It is like nowhere else. Before living here I would wholeheartedly agree with your pov. I said the same things myself. Then I came here and saw the children and the women and the neglect. These people live in third world conditions. Urban Indigenous are much different. Come here, I have a spare room, and see for yourself. You can't understand until you have been here. Rob is a RWDB and I'm left of centre yet we agree on this issue. There has to be something in that don't you think?
