Thanks guys. Its been pretty depressing over here in Aust about this. People just dont know what the fuck.
The little sub-campaigns the govt have been doing are astonishing. Theyve just banned Kava for aboriginal people, despite its use as a safe alternative to alcohol (It was actually imported by the previous labor govt years ago in an anti alcohol campaign).
The conservative campaign here is bizare. How the *fuck* are a bunch of 18yo jar head soldiers supposed to solve deep social despair issues. Nobody denies theres problems in the towns and long grass communitys. But the govt yet again fails to see the real picture.
The govt bans grog for blacks and not whites
The govt bans porn for blacks and not whites
The govt bans kava for blacks and not whites
The govt removes the aboriginal communitys right to exclude people it sees as trouble makes
shuts down the medical centres
talks about selling the land to mining companys
..... and then wonders why aboriginal people are having self esteem problems.
