After more than a decade of planning, the recently formed APY Art Centre Collective, a group of 10 Aboriginal enterprises from central Australia, will open a new art gallery in Adelaide.and the NPY Women's Council, the gallery is designed to ensure that Aboriginal people travelling to Adelaide for health reasons can continue to connect with culture and community along the way.
Situated in the former Night Train theatre restaurant in the city's west end, builders are hard at work to strip the site of its former life and get the space ready in time for its opening next month. The gallery is pitched at emerging artists and will provide a new point of sale for art — both traditional and contemporary — crafted more than 1,000 kilometres away in South Australia's remote APY Lands.
The collective's manager Skye O'Meara says the new gallery will help to move emerging artists beyond having to sell stacked canvases at markets. "This is what has been thrilling about this project — elders created these opportunities for the young and emerging artists and, with it, it's creating more and more jobs on the APY Lands because young artists are turning up to the art centres knowing that there's opportunities that exist today that didn't exist three years ago," she said.

Flight Centre accused of 'systematically underpaying workers'Federal Court action will be launched against Australian travel giant Flight Centre today by five current and former employees claiming they're out of pocket $250,000. Again ? Liberals trickle down economy working in reality. Liberals supporting business that pays no taxes and underpaying workers... It's not just Flight Centre. They're just the ones who've been caught. Basically every retail business pushes the boundaries to see what shit they can get away with. Mostly they'll screw with commission and targets, because that's hard to prove, and get Fair Work to pursue.

Labor considers referendum on Indigenous voice to parliament | Sky News AustraliaLabor is considering holding a referendum on an Indigenous 'voice to parliament' if it wins government at next months federal election.\n\nLabor's would-be minister for Indigenous Affairs, Pat Dodson, says the public would be given a guide on how the scheme 'could work', but its final form would be decided in parliament.\n\nThe Uluru Statement from the Heart and the Referendum Council called for the Indigenous representative body in 2017, though it was rejected by the Turnbull government.\n\nThe Morrison government has echoed its predecessor's view, rejecting it on the basis that it would become a 'third chamber of parliament' and never gain public support.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n\n\n billshortenmp I don't understand what 'recognition' is supposed to accomplish. These bleeding hearts are the ones who divide Aussies based on race and constantly pander to certain racial groups over others, it's not the right or even the 'extreme' right. billshortenmp Mr Nice guy eh? The 'weasel' is still at it. Why hadn't his party done something about it when they were in Government? Same as RC in banking and financial services - those companies were doing 'wrong' during Labor days in Govt and Labor didn't do a RC! Ya da ya da ya da......... billshortenmp They are included, every Australian is. If you want to list them specifically that’s a different argument.

Focusing on strengths, not 'the gap', will help improve Indigenous healthOnly looking at the size of 'the gap' doesn't tell us anything about how things are going for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Instead, it may hide the progress that is happening and decrease people's willingness to adopt healthy practices. If you constantly tell someone they are a victim, and there is someone to blame for their victimhood - they will never be anything more than an angry victim.. BOTH! I'm a great believer on focusing on children strengths and working on their weaknesses. We focus too much on what children can't do and not enough on what they can.
