  1. At $2,700 for a 4 day pass to the Garma festival clearly only wealth elites were welcome.

  2. @@DSA-blackfaction Yes anyone was welcome, as long as they were prepared to fork out $2,700 per adult. $1,850 for a school child. But I suppose we shouldn't overlook the fact children under 5 if accompanied by a paying adult were free. How generous. No wonder in any TV footage I saw there was hardly anyone there.

  3. What a terrible admission from this bloke. He's a member of the ruling political party, an 'Assistant Minister' (assume influential) and all he does is get distressed when he goes to remote aboriginal communities. A suggestion Anthony, get off your fat arse, stop claiming that someone else or something will fix the problem, take ownership and actually do something tangible. Another bunch of privileged self appointed elites who identify as aboriginal in Canberra i.e 'the voice', is going to achieve NOTHING! If anything it will further depower local communities.

  4. @@DSA-blackfaction Yes, I lived on the edge of the Nullarbor for a number of years. Got to witness first hand many times blokes bashing their female partners senseless. Kids just wandering the streets aimlessly. Violent and aggressive drunks everywhere. A total disregard for the wellbeing of others. If you have a point, it's totally lost on me. You REALLY think a self appointed bunch of elites in Canberra who will make up the 'voice' really give two shits about dysfunction remote communities? You're dreaming if you do.
