If you think i'm giving you anything specific you can use to identify me, you're dreaming.
You'll have to save your shovel for another schmuck.
How would identifying a situation without any markers be able to be used to identify you? In other words you cant back up your bullsh!te. As always.
Helping people escape violence and keeping kids inn school not situations to you?
Not "identifying" enough perhaps?
Good luck with that. Outcomes are worsening, despite an ever increasing amount of money being churned through the Aboriginal industry things are getting worse for them. Health declining, life expectancy low and static.
Most of the money never reahes ground zero. You would know that if you were anything above a hired goon.
Outcomes are not worsening. They are entrenching. They are being actively entrenched. There is an important but subtle difference. And the intervention has failed, miserably, and created tremendous disadvantage in it's wake.
But my end, what i can do, is attain positive outcomes for my clients and the communities they live in. We sponsor and fascilitate programs that reach from suburbia to Country ... and we work with some absolutely amazing people.
It's awesome what you can learn if you treat people as equals and allow them agency.
You don't do that though, do you. Not in your bit of the government ... doing the entrenching.
Indeed it does not - I've cited for yez before the job creation program in NYC that had 90%+ syphoned off into 'administration costs' etc, and had little to no effect on the end beneficiaries.
So - what is YOUR solution to handout money being syphoned off into various channels? Think of this as being the same as the Murray Darling thing with water licences and canals etc ..... where there is money, the leeches will be thick as fog over Sydney airport on a warm winter night...
'Agency' to do what exactly? Whatever they choose with handout money? History here is rife with 'land councils' etc syphoning off money for personal use etc, same as the parasites and vultures that develop various 'business models' for public utilities... and with pure waste and increasing problems generated by too much money in hand without responsibility.....
Greed and selfishness have no colour barrier, you know...
"Outcomes are not worsening. They are entrenching. They are being actively entrenched. There is an important but subtle difference. And the intervention has failed, miserably, and created tremendous disadvantage in it's wake. "Again - what is YOUR solution? On the one hand you say that ever-increasing money poured in is going nowhere, but is coalescing into a sludge of despair - being 'entrenched' - and that intervention has failed and causes part of the problem.
Would you prefer a totally hands-off approach? No more money and you're on your own.... or that any responsible government just hand over billions without checks and balances to those who demand it in return for some mythical past free from all want and need? You know - pay the rent for building roads and houses and business and job opportunities and so forth and providing all the benefits of modern Western civilisation?
Apartheid much??
Or perhaps you could just start with some factual data on precisely HOW 'intervention' has been a failure - then move on to WHY. Or even at the basic step of defining 'intervention'..... then we can begin discussion..... I mean - every 'pay day' - every 'rent payment' is an intervention - every freebie is 'intervention'....... what are YOUR defined boundaries of 'intervention'?
Consider the horizon created by your own trench, Grasshopper...
