abusion in Indigenous communitee

Indigenous Australian are given the opportunity to live their lifes like they used to do. They were not used having education at school. What they all needed to learn, they learned it through live. Therefore, they had developed their own interpretion of live. Consequently, they are able to do things which are to our eyes horrible and could not referred to as humanity.

We should have done somethings about this earlier. Properly, because of the lack of money? This may not used as a excus to turn our head away, like we didn't notice it. Nowadays, the topic is getting the interest of most people and especially the media. I am agreed we need to make some changes to this topic. Indigenous Australian have the right to live, similair to other Australian. But, we can't changes it for the best if Indigenous Australian refuse to cooperate. By forcing them may even lead to more struggling from their side.

If I am the prime Minister I will try to change it step at the time. Firstly, I will make the effort to understand their believes and together with my crew we can planning some strategies. Education is the main issue we need to focus on. When we are able to teach children the value of lives, they will automatically pass it to the next generation. Unfortunally, older Indigenous are harder to teach. They need to be proceeded gently so they don't feel threatening. After providing education, we can start building location which able them to spend their time effectively. From their on they can be teaching, living in a house and do the household.

In conclusion, Indigenous communitee has their own way of lives. We all realize that this is a hard topic to deal with, but somethings have to be done. Money and education are the two main topics to put into this program. How we are going to deal with this is still in discussion. But definitely, things are going to change.

Hello Nancy,
I agree with your point that we should have attended to this problem much earlier than now. It has been common knowledge for many years. We should have started the process long ago because it will take years to fix the problem.
I like your idea of approaching the problem step by step, consulting with the people themselves and developing some positive strategies.
Good point re Education. It is definitely a big issue in Indigenous communities. Many Indigenous Australians believe mainstream education is a waste of time; and this has been a huge stumbling block in re-educating them.
They certainly do need to be given meaningful work to occupy themselves with. At the moment they have no meaningful work and their culture has broken down. They were hunters and gatherers. Now because of government assistance they no longer need to hunt and gather... this leaves them with very little to do and very little to look forward to.
Thank you for your thoughtful comments on this issue.
Regards
Susan Hey
