This behaviour is endemic in Indigenous corporations and tribal businesses. Whether its healthcare, housing, jobs, land, or royalties, if you aren’t part of the ruling clan, or are in favour with the ruling clan, you get stuff all. This cultural peculiarity is one of the main reasons for Indigenous disadvantage. The ruling clan(s) demands complete loyalty, above the law of the land. Another cultural practice destroying Aborigines is “humbugging”, where anyone who gets a house, money, land or possessions is expected to share that with his family. This practice brings enormous pressure to bear on more successful Aborigines and discourages others from seeking to better their circumstances. Why try to improve your life when A) you can just scrounge off your more successful relatives; and B) If you do get ahead, you’ll have no-hopers from your clan turning up with their hands out? The problems with Indigenous in Australia have nothing to do with racism, and everything to do with culture. That’s where monumental change needs to happen.

This is my concern with voice. When stationed at Groote locals all told me they did not trust any leader of another clan to run community for everyone’s benefit equally. In fact most did not trust own clan leaders to segregate monies for own benefit. This distrust of a single clan leader was the norm. Voice would enshrine power of a single individual and his clan to exclusion of others and further entrench disadvantage. The local strongman on Groote was Simeon and we had several encounters and community generally supported me as they distrusted him and they knew soon I would be gone and not threat to the power of the clan leaders. I got the same message at Maningrida, Port Keats, Daly River and many other communities. When I was at Nhulunboy I heard the tales about Yunupingu and I heard from a helicopter pilot of his duties of collecting seagulls eggs for the big guy.

It has also happened in NZ, with the Maori elite living extravagantly but the majority of Maori still feature at the bottom of all the statistics (except for prison, which they are at top of).

Mal Brough gave Galarrwuy Yunupingu $9 min to develop his cattle station for tourists....he didn't....but he did get a nice helicopter. East Arnhem is a wonderful place and Nabalco, Alcan and Rio Tinto have assisted in development but also made the elders wealthy....no different from mining all over the country. But, the taxpayer continually supports these groups endlessly.

[@linseyocsfam8663]

I admit to being curious as to why and to who an aboriginal corporation would sell a local property that was bought for $540 000, most likely tax payer funded, 9 years later sell it for $1. The property was then resold 7 months later for $950 000. Not a bad profit on the $1 buy for someone. If I was a cynic I would think that it was a family member who was the lucky buyer? That amount of money could have bought quite a few scholarships, provided lots of tafe courses, health assistance to those in need to close the gap. Yes, these transactions are recorded publicly and have been sent to senators that may be interested in investigating where the billions have gone.

The real Truth telling.....

[@learnenglishwithauntyjeanp1646]

I agree with robina boy. 52 years ago when I came to Aus & began 30 years of working in various ways for rural Aboriginal folk, that was the norm. If one family member had something, it was up for grabs by everyone. Several times local white Aussies tokd me the Aboriginals shared everything. I soon learned it wasn't a sharing culture but a taking culture. BTW, it wasnt white folk who coined the phrase Coconut for Aboriginals who made a success of their lives.

[@saintsone7877]

@@stephenwright1476 You say THEIR land was taken away from them. When? Under Aboriginal culture they have NO land and are only the custodians of whatever lands they live on. Ownership is European culture NOT Aboriginal culture. Secondly, who did the Aboriginals take this land they are custodians of from as there were many cultures on the land of what is today known as Australia before the Aborigine arrived(that's right "arrived" as they did not begin in Australia). Thirdly, go to a land rights case in court and see just how much they love their traditional burial grounds etc. No sooner does a tribe get awarded a parcel of land they are signing mining rights contracts as they are NOT the traditional dwellers but interlopers with ZERO ties to that parcel the courts awarded simply for being the largest group living on/near that land. Everything we are told by current Aboriginal Leaders are lies and schemes to provide an endless stream of funds they can misappropriate and become wealthy from whilst the average Aboriginal gets played for a fool by them. And you seem to have swallowed the baloney well and truly.

The Labor party likes to think of itself as carrying on the spirit of Ben Chifley.

Yunupingu is very much in the mould a modern Labor hero.

The Austrlian labor party of today is far far removed from the original authentic labor party of the original form/intent.

have to admit i'm shocked that there are people that are surprised by this behaviour, the abject poverty of people living on the fringes of any outback town whilst certain families live the life of plenty, and how they come to gain this wealth is nothing short of insidious ....... it's not Orwell's 1984 it's Animal Farm

[@saintsone7877]

What a load of poppycock. Jealousy is a curse. Many people gain wealth legitimately and as a result of hard endeavour and simply insult them by claiming they have achieved it via insidious means in insulting. No doubt there are cases you may have a point but to make it a blanket statement for all families who happen to become wealthy simply shows your own jealousy. Half the millionares in Australia came from poor families and worked hard and long to get where they are. Shame on you for such dismissively ignorant comments.

The figures are based on the 2017 Indigenous Expenditure Report produced by the Productivity Commission. The Australian government is removing your property ownership rights, one step at a time. Every State in Australia has already sold off the Lands and Title Office, your original titles have been destroyed, and been replace with “digital certificates of title.” This is not a lawful proof of historical ownership nor has it any legal weight, the value of your property is in the TITLE. i.e., Title Deed

I lived in Gove...Nhulunbuy...for most of 2008, and after I got to know locals, I heard the same stories too. How Galarrwuy lived up the beach in a mansion, and he would sometimes fly his chopper to town for a beer at the Walkabout Tavern. It's a tiny town, and I lived and worked across the road at Gove House, one of the accommodation places used by the mining company. Every morning I'd step out the front door, and one of the several locals sleeping on the front lawn would ask me for a smoke...to which I'd always reply, I don't smoke anymore. I was told that these homeless people were the alcoholics who were kicked out of their dry communities...who would make their way to the town, to sleep on the streets. Fortunately, the weather was always warm. And that year, the government introduced a permit system to buy alcohol....and suddenly one morning, the people sleeping on the lawn were sober.

The amount of Yonglu people in East Arnhem land that took advantage 1. Only 1 in over 30 years. Why work when you get free money, no accountability and royalties, etc?
