This group have come together as a result of a maritime training program being run by the Tribal Warrior Association in Redfern.
They are a not-for-profit community organisation that offers disadvantaged youth training and mentoring. And guess who is paying for it? Why guess, when the facts are available? It's paid for by a variety of financial and pro-bono supporters, including individuals, foundations, government and corporates. e.g. Woolworths, Bunnings, Blackwattle Bay Marina, Sheldon Furniture, Dulux, The Redfern Foundation, etc. You can read, can't you? And of course, this doesn't need to be said, but I'll say it anyway because some people are just ... well ... stupid. Not all non-profit organisations are charities. But they all get tax relief which costs the taxpayers. Money that could have been put into housing, jobs, feeding people rather than getting them in touch with their Euro DNA sailing to foreign shores. As I said. You can bet the tax payer will be footing a good part of the monies wasted on this shite. Firstly, you can bet they will all be on the dole. Then they will need accommodation both in Sydney and Hobart. There is lots and lots of other costs. And the boats themselves are far from cheap, you can bet they won't be doing it in a little one. Once again There is an abbo involved So it's gonna cost the taxpayer.............again No, it's not. I've already explained it to you.
