McGinty's Left - Paralysed by Political Correctness

Aboriginal Policy Paralysed in the ALP

The evidence given by former Federal indigenous affairs minister Mal Brough to Coroner Alister Hope who is examining suicides among young Aboriginal people in the Kimberley, really highlights the inability of the State Labor Governments to tackle these issues.

Brough told the coronal inquest that the WA Department of Indigenous Affairs (DIA) was "deaf, dumb and blind" when it came to addressing the needs of Aboriginal communities. Brough said DIA and successive State ministers have known children are living in squalid conditions but fail to act because they are scared to do anything about the issues, because of political correctness.

The Desert Rat agrees that this attitude is racist because as the Government would remove white children if they were living in these conditions and subjected to abuse.

For 30 years Labor Governments have been paralysed by their own Left ideology on Aboriginal policy. The McGinty Socialist Left opposed police stations in large communities despite persistent calls by Aboriginals for police stations. The Desert Rat was told by one Left minister that Aboriginal people don't want police. It would appear that paedophiles, grog runners and wife bashers had the ear of that Minister.

Massive fraud and embezzlement in Aboriginal communities has been ignored, because it would reflect badly on Aboriginal Corporations. There have never been any prosecutions to the Desert Rat's knowledge. The Left washed their hands by using the slogan "self-determination" and nothing happened. The Aboriginal people through self-determination were then responsible for their own failure.

Attendance at school really become voluntary under Alan Carpenter when he was minister for Education and what little structure that was in Aboriginal life, was removed.

Carpenter was Minister for Aboriginal Affairs for three years and during that time he was bewildered and lost. He hasn't any idea of how to tackle the problems. Carpenter wanted to keep the Casey Report secret and the Casey Report wasn't released until pressure from The West Australian and others making Freedom of Information requests. It turned out that Julian Grill had made a submission to the inquiry. He was prepared to make his ideas public. Was that why Carpenter wanted the report suppressed?

Casey recommended the DIA be axed. Carpenter was against that and also ignored the recommendations of John Sanderson' report. A year later still nothing has happened.

Carpenter, McGinty and the Labor Government have no plans, no initiative, no ideas.

Any member of the Labor Party who called for abused children to be removed from communities or who supported food vouchers for irresponsible parents over the last 30 years, would have been sent to Coventry, dis-endorsed and excommunicated from the Labor Party.

Criticism of the Left's Aboriginal policy ideology - was politically incorrect. The Left has controlled this disastrous agenda for 30 years and have been slow in realising it has been destructive and hasn't worked. The problem is that McGinty, McHale and Carpenter and other of the Left, are ideologically paralysed. They don't know what to do and don't want to take advice and want to suppress others views.
