Jacinta Nampijimpa Price: Aboriginal Land Councils stop indigenous business

Click above for the video 
Something I learned from Jacinta Price’s talk above: How would-be indigenous small business owners are being stymied by the Indigenous Land Councils. That needs fixing. Doesn’t need a Voice.

Listen, too, to her story of her aunt, who disappeared 40 years ago, running away, after she’d been offered to an aged relative in marriage. Jacinta has talked of the need to LISTEN to voices to fight domestic violence in the indigenous community. Never mind the Voice. Not the mouth that’s needed. But the ears. Listen.

Jacinta wants to get away from the victimhood mentality. And the “White Saviour” complex. 

She says: a Canberra-based Voice won’t help aboriginals in rural and outback Australia. 

Especially as the Voice will be staffed by the same people who’ve overseen fifty years of failed policies. Backed by $30 billion per year. Where has it gone? Why them again? “Them” being Megan Davis, Pat Anderson, Marcia Langton and Noel Pearson

Noel Pearson: where has the $300 million gone that you were given for the 300 aborigines in Cape York? How was the money spent? Why no closing of their gaps? With a million a head?

Polls running 60/40 NO.
