Uncle Norm Clarke conducts 20,000 learner licence tests to help First Nations drivers 8-)

Does that include learning how to hot-wire cars?

Here we have a perfect example of what you have all been demanding of Indigenous people - accountability, a willingness to be a part of the wider Australian community and all we see is a Racist response.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...  ::) ::)

I think we will be giving them new cars with the voice funded by taxpayers.

Great - that and a skeleton key for any car and off they go in the Townsville Cup....

Why are we not seeing more tribal elders doing this
sort of Aboriginal educational work?

I suppose I have seen indigenous people driving all over the grass, in circles, and at slow speeds. So, not really a convincing argument against teaching First Nations how to drive.

What's stopping Aboriginal youth or adults applying for a drivers license/learners permit in any town where there's no TMR but a Police Officer.... just like anyone else?
