Tomorrow marks 10years since our former fool of a Prime Minister gave a national apology to the Aboriginal people of Australia. This also marks 10years of the Closing the Gap scheme, that aims to bring key areas such as life expentancy, infant mortality and literacy/numeracy up to the same standards as their white counterparts.
In the 10years of this scheme, it appears that only 3 of the 7 benchmarks are on track to ever be achieved. Also, in the year years, it has cost the Australian Tax Payers over $130BILLION dollars.
This to me in itself is a national outrage. I am all for providing an equal opportunity, and wanting all members of Australia to have the same standards of life and education. But there has to come a point where the nation draws a line in the sand and says enough is enough.
Tony Mundine, the father of the serial twat Anthony Mundine, has called on government to scrap ALL additional funding being given to Aboriginal outfits. He says that no matter how much money is given it'll never fix the problems.
It is at that point that a parent gets to with a bratty child. The parent panders to the kid and they turn ferals, demanding more and more and getting a worsening attitude the longer it continues. The parent knows that tough love is the only way to remedy the situation.
The aboriginals demand to be treated as equal to their white brothers, I'm ALL for this. But how equal is equal? If we were to provide strictly equal social security to aboriginal people as that recieved by other Australians, the tax payer would save well over $20BILLION per year.
But what government would ever do that. Even contemplating removing a handout is recieved with hatred and threats of loosing government.
The day of reckoning is coming soon for all of these minorities and it wont be a pretty picture when it does happen.
