Lovely passage,of course.
But it relies on goodwill and good faith from those attempting to reconcile.
This, is missing.

I think that extremists have hijacked the theme for their own selfish interest, but I also think that the tide is turning.

its ironic how the push comes from white aborigionals from the inner city of mostly Melbourne and Sydney & not from the bush

Interesting a couple of years ago we had a cabinet meeting in Alice Springs, due to the crime problem.
Now the place has gone balistic and police have had to be flown in from Interstate, because Alice Springs crime is off the scale, not a politician to be seen.

Albo recently did a trip to the NT, visited Darwin for a few minutes then left. You’d think with the voice, he was so passionate about and the care of the aboriginal people he apparently has he would spend more time there and pay more attention to what’s happening in Alice springs

It doesn't need to be Albo, but after the pomp and ceremony of the first visit, the current situation should at least qualify for the minister to make an appearance, if only to make the locals to feel they weren't extras for a promotional shoot last time.

The NT was Labor during Albo's visit government has changed hands, the new lot said they were going to fix it up locking everyone one up.
NT's incarceration rate is already 1% WA's by comparison is .2%

Still should have a visit, to show someone gives a $hit.
Can't just keep blaming someone else, when things turn ugly, it's wearing extremely thin.

Why take the blame for some one else's mess, Dutton should show up with Jacinta explaining what a great job the LNP are doing.
TBH none of them can fix the issue Australia decided that.

Its not just the Alice its wide spread through out NW WA and the top end, been coming for some time as not enough want to seriously address the disfunction and structural issues.
The current lock them up (10 year olds) is just breeding the next cycle generation of criminals plus more disfunction.
Albanese actually tried to do some thing beyond the fake Abbott photo opportunities but Australians hate Aboriginals always have always will, such is life.

You and I know it isn't an easy fix, to give people meaningfull work and purpose is going to be hard for all Australians, as Albo is finding out with the "made in Australia", wanting to do something and actually achieving it are two completely different things.
Trying to give the aboriginals meaningful employment in remote communities wont be easy, but doing nothing isn't the answer either, I'm disappointed another avenue hasn't been explored since the voice, it is a cop out really.
I don't believe Dutton would do anything either, but I don't think he would ponce around saying he would do anything, that just smacks of showmanship and wasn't a good look.

That's exactly what Dutton did in the Alice with Jacinta talking to whites about Aboriginal issues.

What did Albo try and do?
The statement that Australians hate aboriginals is one of ignorance, NFI and watches to much ABC and only leaves there suburban house to go there government job

Abbott actually spent time out at the communities, which is more than Albo has done, constantly deriding others as an excuse for their osn performance isn't a good look either it sounds like desperation and it never goes down well.
As you probably remember from the workshop days, doing a $hit job and then excusing it by saying it is not as bad as another tradesmans work, doesn't come over well.

Abbott did absolutely nothing other than photo ops and cutting programs to support young mothers etc that was part of the $500 mil he took out of spending likely the start of todays issues.

Wasn’t if good to see all those champagne socialist parasites Albo and co in Canberra shoot down a bill Price tried to put in to the parliament asking to see where that 40 plus billion goes?
Can’t let down that woke support base and effect those cushy jobs

Like I say, neither side can say they have excelled in the aboriginal issue and it's about time they stopped saying we aren't good, but we are better than the other side.
That goes for most issues these days, politics isn't about doing their best, it's just about being not as bad as the other side.
That's why there is such a swing happening the world over, the silent majority everywhere in the western world are getting fed up with poor political performance.

On the subject of cutting programs to support young mothers, Gillard stopped child allowance for single mums when the child turned 8, before then it went until the child was 16.
Albo just re instated it to 14 years old, so that was a great move.
I know it hurt my daughter who is a single mum, her oldest son has just turned 14 in Oct so she lost the allowance for most of his growing years and she doesn't earn much.
As I said finger pointing and saying one side is better than another, really isn't the point, both sides are not setting a very high bar and that is why they struggle with re election.
