[donnashuggy]

I'm extremely confused, are they or aren't they?

What is there to argue about?

Your knowledge of how communities (any of them) operate in isolated areas is lacking.

I have given you the facts.

Funding for?

---

Funding for schools, medical, social services, communiity services - the usual stuff that the govt is happy to fund for any OTHER community.

There are 274 remote communities in WA alone. There are not enough Doctors, Nurses, Teachers and Social Workers in the bush TOWNS - where do you propose to find another 274 of each to maintain services to each of these remote communities? Then of course, each one of those has to have facilities - so operating room, exray centre and on and on. Next we'll be sending a Doctor, Nurse, Teacher and Social Worker to each Cattle station and / or Farm in the outback for FREE. Totally unsustainable and totally unrealistic.

OK, the people want to stay on their Ancestoral Land, but practicalities must come into it somewhere.

I can't believe 4 other people kudo'd such an ill informed post.

Rabbit you clearly have no idea what happens and what type of services are given to these communities. Do you seriously think each community gets doctors, teachers, scial workers, xray centres? No one is that naive to believe that surely.

But your analogfy to a cattlestation is a good one because they are also 'settlements'. They also get provided services. In fact they get the same services offered to indigenous communities.

How do you think a child gets educated on an outback cattlestation? How does mum get to hospital when a baby is due? Who do you think pays for a doctor and nurse and all the equipment when farmer has an accident on his land? How dose the post get delivered? How does the phone get wired up?

If we can't afford to provide basic services to 274 indigenous communities then it should be the same for anyone else who live in an isolated community. 

Would you be agreeing with the policy if it also affected outstations, cattlestations, farms?

No I didn't think so.

I wrote a long response here but I have deleted it - can't be bothered any more. How dare I express an opinion.

You can express whatever opinion you like.

But when your opinion is full of information that is blatantly incorrect then I think you should expect that people will want to steer you towards the facts so that future opinions won't sound so hollow.

So wonderful that we have your "superior" knowledge to guide us 🙂

[i-need-a-martini]

It's not SUPERIOR knowledge. It;s just knowledge plain and simple.

Anyway I thought you weren't going to "argue" anymore? But seeing as you are still here then it would be good if you could respond to the information I presented to you.

Nah cant be bothered, letting you have the floor atm,
