Labor and Aborigines need to talk, says Tilmouth
Aboriginal leader Tracker Tilmouth says Indigenous people have a lot of talking to do with the Labor Party about its law and order policies in the Northern Territory.
Labor won a landslide victory in the election in which it campaigned hard on law and order issues.
Tracker Tilmouth is a long-time member of the party but has been critical of its policy aimed at locking up habitual drunks.
"Call it what you like but at the end of the day we've got a process where we've got legislation for 150 people out of Darwin, now that's a lot of detail because you know I think the number of drunks habitual number 150 all up, so we've got a problem," he said.
Mr Tilmouth has called on both parties to make a commitment not to use Aboriginal race issues in future campaigns.
How can you keep Howard in when he has slashed education funding, put up HECS fees, Dumped workers needs/rights/working conditions/Pay.
Pumped millions into a useless war.
Lied to the public and allowed 8 interest rate rises to occur
Introduced the GST, a tax on a tax!
Kick the bastard out!
Rudd's Wife = Capitalist
Rudd = Communist
rarely have i heard of so much rubbish as your last post zt3000. who are you? general manager of caltex? chairman of 'Razor wire's r us'?
i'll assume for a moment that you have a modicum of intelligence.
a) unemployment is low and the economy is raging along because why...demand for our minerals and energy on a global scale.
b) not even gonna bother. learn the facts, look at rba interest rate figures, allow economists much smarter than me to explain. rates were 8% when johnny got in. (hint-think global economics)
c) union disruption is low. maybe they're happy because of huge wages due to shortage of skilled tradies, miners etc, thanks to criminal short-sightedness by this regime. a mate is on $130 000 a year. a fitter. why would he complain.
d) whats globalisation got to do with johnny? except to prosper in the decades to come we need to be smart, invent things for asians to make. but no. uni's are forced to sell our knowledge. soon we will be too expensive and relatively stupid.
e) her name is none of yours, or my, business pal.
since you mentioned w.o.m.destruction...
estimated - 700 000- 1 million iraqis dead. 3500 us troops dead, 134 brit soldiers dead. 350 000 us soldiers maimed, crippled, ****ked up. trillions spent. world stability- gone. australia- target. someone mentioned lie. how about the Bush/cheney lie that johnny stands behind to this day. fair dinkum!!!! i wont go into the myriad of issues that others have mentioned or may mention in posts to come.
if you live your life caring only for yourself at this point in time, and rate the success of a government solely on how much YOU get paid, then good on ya. just dont ever run into me on the street.
