In earlier posts I described how the governments of the day need to identify indigenous leaders of the order of the Dodson brothers, Noel Pearson and Rosalie Kunoth-Monks et al and give these great leaders the unfettered opportunity to self determine the future for their peoples. I see them as the Philosopher Kings and Queens of their peoples and can't wait to know that they are in the highest halls of Australian governmental power bringing about the change that is needed for indigenous Australians.
In the ABC Q&A this week Professor Fiona Stanley and others put the above view and I was heartened.
Those who believe in the cause need to canvass their pollies of both sides to see which side, if elected, will act and act decisively and without all the bureaucratic palaver.
