"It is so dispiriting and its not just the culture clash and the dysfunction of Aboriginal society up against progress, mining companies and the like.. its our complete failure to get services to the people and understand their plight and just provide basic human services.. and to say these people who are living on homelands deserve an education in the same way white people get educational facilities - the instances of bureaucratic neglect and bungling are positively Russian in their scope and character."
Don Watson, 2021
