A Step On A Long Road On Aboriginal Policy For Australia
The Minister in Charge of Aboriginal Affairs Mr Wentworth has shown a readiness to reassess official advice and consider land for a Gurindji headquarters at Wave Hill. Two events reveal the slow progress toward fair treatment: Dareton housing plans near a rubbish tip and Dexter Daniels’s successful vagrancy appeal in Darwin. The piece urges Wentworth to address Northern Territory issues first, break with past conventions, and urges the States to act within constitutional rights for Aboriginal welfare.

Benefits of the New Zealand education system

It yields broader public understanding and stronger community support, with thousands of parents and citizens involved annually, unlike the Australian experience which lacks such direct participation and trust in local bodies.
