Yes, the Govt. need to listen to the indigenous people and work with them how to overcome the problems they are facing instead of a bandaid affect. I just hope and pray that the young people can recieve the help they really need.honeysucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11660473932260021544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843708975728256660.post-90383651705262021892007-06-24T12:20:00.000+10:002007-06-24T12:20:00.000+10:00I dont think anything the government does can "fix...I dont think anything the government does can "fix" the problem. I think the church should be working to empower indigenous people outside the structures of politics and social programs. Many probably already are. Solutions imposed from above may provide relief and societal illu8sions of "progress" but I reckon real healing and justice wont happen from within societaland politcial structures. The reasons being that the market economy is now the strongest force of "salvation" in society. Thats the only solution conservative or Left leaning governments can see. I would hate to see indigenous run Casinos in the central deserts and KAkadu.<BR/><BR/>The real solution surely has more to do with GOds burgeoning kingdom than politcal symbols and imposed programs for the "betterment" of the indigenous people. Has it ever worked in 200 years? WHat makes us think that our hubris will get it right this time?<BR/><BR/>And what am I doing about it? Absolutely nothing. So I guess you can ignore pretty much everything Ive said here. <BR/><BR/>Like your blog and re4ad often.urbanmonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674871237002604796noreply@blogger.com
