Intervention changes

[Rainbow Moonlight]

Looks like the government has been reviewing th NT aboriginal intervention program and consulting extensively with affected communities. Be very interesting to see what changes will occur?

I love the smell napalm in the morning.

You commenting on my interest or the possible course of future action there Frogen?

[JW.Frogen]

No, just walking through the dark, walking through the war and reminiscing.

My personal intervention change would be "welcome to the modern world", get a job, or go to where the jobs are.

And before you grumble, it could have been worse, Indonesia is Islamic. Good thing you got out while you could.

Its human to be interested in conflict I guess. In this case however i would hope that the intervention or its next version would actually help prevent the child abuse and domestic violence that was present in the communities.

I don't think napalm would be a good solution.

Have you been involved in destroying villages?

And now having seen your next comment- hard to get people who are drunk and violent that they need to work. I think the intervention has been aimed at an earlier stage of "reform" or whatever you like to call it.

OK, I guess our only other alternative is to dance naked around the snake God Wigal and ask the Aboriginals how much more money they want to be victims forever more.

Mantra or auzgirl may like to help you with that.

My snake is an welcoming God.

From that article, it sounds like they wont change much at all.

Perhaps it is working, for the womenfolk, anyway?
