Jenny Mak Should Get The Sack! Australia’s Disgrace – Indigenous Intervention Failure.
Minister For Disingenuous Affairs
Click The Picture Directly Above.
It’s captured from Hon. Jenny Maklin’s website home page and makes Maka’s view of who “Australians” are very clear.
Yes, this is the federal “Minister for Indigenous Affairs”. One would be forgiven for concluding Maka sees the people her portfolio is actually responsible for are “Anglo-Celtic white”, given the singular lack of ethnic diversity amongst the smiling faces basking in her reflected glory. There’s not a single indigenous person there!
Her portfolio needs to be renamed to better reflect the Minister’s priorities. I envisage: “Minister For Disingenuous Affairs.”
Out of Touch. Out of Time. Out of Basic Decency.
Northern Territory indigenous leader Galarrwuy Yunupingu says the Federal Government’s intervention has failed to improve the lives of Aboriginal people.
Yunupingu said:
“It is now three years old but it hasn’t made Aboriginal people any richer or healthier or happier,”
“It is really and truly dragging people down to create more misery.
“So the intervention that I am calling now is to close. Let’s start again.”
He’s right, of course. Are we surprised?
There can’t be a person in either chamber of the Australian Federal Parliament who actually cares.
Because if they did we’d hear about it!
Instead, all we’ve heard are Conservatives in the Northern Territory using the issue for political point scoring.
We’ve not heard from The Greens. Their silence speaks volumes about their “acknowledgement of the original carers”, which equates to:
“Move over, The Greens are here!
These are Australian Citizens – not vehicles for cutesy, convenient, middle class vote scoring. Not devices for creating surreptitious slogans addressing voguish city dwellers.
Either do something constructive to help them NOW or…
Get out of parliament in favor of people who will!
Millions Squandered By Bureaucrats
We have heard reports from NT that millions in indigenous funding earmarked for the Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program has been squandered in typical, heartless, bureaucratic bastardism.
Speaking of bastards – NT Chief Minister Paul Henderson vowed he’d:
“…get to the bottom” of how the $672m package was being spent.”
and the NT’s conservative opposition Country Liberal Party called for the Northern Territory and Commonwealth auditors-general to begin
“… an immediate investigation to trace the movement of money under the SIHIP scheme.“
The guidelines for this “funding” are an utter disgrace. They are a sick, perverted joke on the Aboriginal people. Australians should be screaming in rage – this could never happen in the suburbs:
- 40-year lease deals have been negotiated with remote communities, which receive their chunk of the money only after they have signed over partial control over their land.
- Seven lease deals have been struck, despite chronic overcrowding in most remote communities – where it is alleged up to 30 people have been known to share a two-bedroom house.
- Not one new house has been built as part of the project.
Thanks to this Minister and her Labor government, John Howard’s Northern Territory indigenous gulag continues – further eroding basic civil rights, basic economic support and the basic civil liberties that are the birth right of all Australians.
Which under the constitution, includes the Australian Aboriginal people!
“ Minister,Resign.”
“The Westminster System Affords You An Honourable Way Out!”
She Looks Worried. Doesn’t She? So She Should. Sack The Mak!
Conservative Engendered Racism.
Endorsed By Labor Party White Australia Policies?
I remind you this tragedy was created by John Howard’s Liberal/National Coalition government prior to the ALP winning power and appointing “Maka the Minister For Disingenuous Affairs” . It was supposed to address genuine problems such as child abuse and chronic health problems in the indigenous community.
Australian Democrats Senators Said This Would Fail in 2007
The Australian Democrats Senators argued vigorously against it’s implementation. They warned it would fail.
They were right, and it did.
The Green’s Sacrificing This Issue For Ecological Communion
The cross benches in the Senate are now filled by The Greens, who are mute on this issue. They are too busy arguing about Climate Change and opposing every government proposal on everything.
Balance – oh plagiarising populists that you are – is about all issues of governance. Not just your pet – green coloured glasses – agenda item!
But Aboriginal Affairs?
They “acknowledge” them – but we all know what that’s worth!
Liberal And Labor Party Apartheid
This is a bum deal for all Australians. Taxpayers’ money is being wasted by bureaucrats – and is not getting through to those it is intended for and who urgently need it, Australia’s indigenous people.
It is a bum deal because we Australians are inclined to sit in judgment of other nations’ human rights issues while our government makes hypocrites of us all.
It is a bum deal because the Rudd Government have not even succeeded in conning themselves.
This government and Jenny Maklin have successfully managed, in just two short years, to create a problem that would bring tears of joy to the eyes of Australia’s second longest serving deflector of human rights – John Howard.
The Australian Democrats have long sought to “Keep the Bastards Honest” – but it seems we are now reduced to having to “Keep the Bastards from being Xenophobes” too?
“Please Explain?”
