Between Indigenous Leaders: the horns of a bitter dilemma
While there is no independent, credible, national Indigenous leadership forum, there will be no resolution of the structural and ideological impasse between Australia's Indigenous leaders, and subsequently, the endless cycle of failing policies and bitter debates will continue.

Therein is the conundrum and the tensions between the main thinkers and actors of Aboriginal Australia and all of us minions who wallow in their tread.
