  1.  @sallycent6598  So the direct funding to indigenous groups is $4.2 billion. This is direct from the budget. Check it yourself. $4.2 billion out of a $650 billion total spend is 0.6% of spending. Indigenous make up 3% of the population. Read the budget for the NIAA, it specifically allocates exactly we’re every cent goes. Don’t just ask mindless questions be inquisitive.

  2. Are you even Australian, because the sheer lack of knowledge of Australian history is astounding. It’s as if you spent no time at all in an Australian primary school. You are a dimwit and that’s being kind.

  3.  @Voteliberallaborgreenslast  Because it is not just about the money or resources. It is about equality.

  4.  @dfor50  Factually incorrect. $531 million for parental leave, $4.7 billion for child care, $2.5 billion for aged care. No other groups get money spent on them like that. What a crock. Now what is the real reason you don't what money spent on indigenous programs?

  5.  @dfor50  I don't use any of them, why should I pay for them?

  6.  @dfor50  Why should my taxes be going for 30 mobile , 4 chair dialysis units. Why the hell are my tax dollars being spent on a$1.9 million dialysis treatment bus for the Wilcannia, White cliffs, and Menindee regions. And why the hell do indigenous people need $22.5 million to build a birthing unit in Nowra, can't they just use the bushes out in the backyard. Well it's because every single piece of data proves beyond all reasonable doubt that indigenous people suffer discrimination and lower levels of health, education, life expectancy, birth rates, unemployment, home ownership, than the rest of us. The only thing they leed on is how many of them we gaol. At $4.2billion that is just 0.6% of the total federal budget, that is a tiny amount of money to attempt to redress the disadvantage indigenous people face. So once again what is your real reason for wanting to keep indigenous people at a disadvantage?

  7.  @dfor50  Except in your case you aren't interested in taking care of indigenous people. Fair cop just own it and we will leave it there.

  8.  @Voteliberallaborgreenslast  I don’t know what that means, what evidence do you have of funds allocated to indigenous people and spent on non indigenous?
