  • Slithering Towards Apartheid

    Cultural safety doesn’t just mean removing the Australian flag lest it give indigenous people anxiety attacks. Apparently the mere presence of a non-indigenous person is a threat to safety.

Indeed, the opposite is true.  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are given lesser sentences because they are indigenous. Racism really is at work, but it's in the form of 'positive discrimination'

  • Why Alice Can’t Get Ahead

    She doesn’t need or care about apologies, recognition, policy objectives or statements from hearts. She’s got a life and it’s pretty chaotic. Government, even the bloated indigenous bureaucracy, can’t or won’t help her. What she needs and will never get is a culture that recognises individual agency, a colour blind legal system and a decent man in her life
