The Federal Government has taken the unprecedented step of offering support for an individual Regional Hospital in a critical marginal election.
We may not be as qualified as the Federal Treasurer, and his election campaign staff, but we can smell abuse of public funds as well as any reasonable man.
It would take $200 mil AUD to provide decent housing, a job, education and healthcare for every indigenous man, woman and child in the Northern Territory, and the top end of Australia. Yet the government has opted to spend $600 mil on providing a contract for solar hot water heaters to manufacturing companies so that our well-fed children have hot water to wash their hands with after a piss. And a further $600 mil will be spent rennovating the Sydney Opera House.
If that represents the epogy of Liberal Parth wisdom during a pre-election campaign, then perhaps it would be prudent to look for more down-to-earth leaders for our nation.

Its wrong. Its a political point scorer. Child abuse has, is, and will continue in the rest of the non-aboriginal communities but this is left in the "too close to home" and "too hard basket" oh and it may not get too many votes. Back to the original point they should meet with the elders and thrash out some strategies to combat these behaviours amongst their own peoples. Haven't we taken enough control from these poor souls. Its the white Australia policy all over again just with a different mask. Who introduced these people to alcohol, pornography, petrol, forced them to try to live our way (like were doing so well), YES WE DID
