Thank you for your article. Just as a side note...Native Australians have a preferential "treatment" imbedded in health, recruitment and procurement policies (from what I witnessed first hand). As per Indigenous Procurement Policy all procurement contracts in Australian Public Service have to be “offered “to native Australian business first via https://supplynation.org.au/ (if there is Native Australian supplier).

This policy has enabled obscene amount of Taxpayers money to be embezzled by Native Australian business. Most Native Australian Business are just a front for embezzlement of money. How? Because, they do not really have to deliver any services up to the “selection criteria” level due to perception that their businesses did not have the same advantages as other business. So the contracts will be given to them as well as all the support they need to “improve’ the service but there is no requirement to improve the service nor to deliver it to any professional standards as they will get paid regardless.

Also, Native Australians graduates are paid more than Australian graduates. They are also offered higher level courses than “regular” Australians. Not to mention, that when they are applying for Public Service jobs they are given jobs regardless of their qualifications and/or selection criteria evaluation. In addition, once they enter Australian Public Service they are given unrestricted ongoing access to Mentors and training to help them fast track their careers. Unfortunately all of the “privileges” they get are not enough to motivate them to engage with employment services as the money handed out to them through Centrelink is far greater than to any other Australian. Politically, as it was explained to me, there is more benefit to Native Australians to remain OUT of employment as that “gives” out the “DATA” that they are “under represented” in the workforce and not treated equally, which then enables narratives such as wider public has been increasingly made aware of recently.

The deliberate destruction of our society - so many signs. I've just written on another sign: a non-phonetic way of making it hard to learn to "read" (decode images, which are phonetic words): https://elsaiselsa.substack.com/p/non-phonetic-teaching-of-reading-evil-at-work And in Chicago, looting is presented (not by Tucker Carlson!!) as "reparation": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzgOlunQA48

Jacinta is a breath of fresh air - she has grown up with it all, she knows what she is talking about and isn't pretending to care like the proposers of the Voice. Each year $39 billion is spent on Aboriginal Departments etc., yet it doesn't get to the people who actually need it. Tax payers money should be more open to the public. When the P.M. took over he quashed the cashless card; and revoked the liquor laws which were made earlier to stop the liquor abuse (Aborigines do not have a great tolerance for alcohol as do others after many centuries of use) the result was misery & mayhem in the towns and destruction of the education system; the P.M., was pleaded with not to do this and he in his wisdom ignored the pleas of the people who know what the outcome would be - it has now been revoked but will take some years to repair.

The Whites Europeans got Australia by invading and colonizing it. Nothing to argue about. No amount of compensation in the form of subsidies, etc., can do justice to the Abos and their country.

Penang Island was founded by Captain Francis Light in 1786 who paid the Sultan of Kedah on the mainland for it
