So on one hand we have the COALition ‘saying’ one thing that will address a particular area which definitely needs to be looked at & another looking at a long term future strategy that hopefully will open the doors on many other First Nations matters..

How come Bill Shorten avoids proper scrutiny regarding the rape accusations against him while male students on campuses can have their lives derailed on the basis of a mere allegation? Finally more details of the story are emerging.
Has Shorten truly got a heart for the indigenous? Has not really shown a heart for too many during the election game. One could conclude this is an afterthought just in case he needs their support. LiberalAus
The PM is a liar. He is not doing anything to address Indigenous youth suicide!
