Australia has always encouraged the little bloke to have a go, the Aussie battler to get up.

If you know that something is true and just, and you give up, thats when you fail.
school opportunity waiting
Get out of bed, go to school, stick at school. Make it happen for yourself because those opportunities are waiting.
world slavery machines
You cannot afford a world with slavery, which literally takes someone and turns them into a machine.
continue encourage homes indigenous people travel
There are people all over Australia who use their homes as hubs that they travel from, and they encourage their indigenous people to continue to stay there.
indigenous job reliance six stuck welfare
Statistically after six months, if an Indigenous or non-Indigenous person has come off welfare, even long-term welfare, and has stuck in that's job for six months, then they've really broken in their own psychology the welfare reliance mentality. They're up on their own two feet.
alarming australia bit countrymen eliminate fellow fellows growing helping huge issues needs
I really do think I can make a contribution in helping eliminate the disparity here in Australia and doing my small bit to help eliminate slavery around the world. These are huge issues for our fellow countrymen and our fellows in the world, where slavery is growing at an alarming rate, and it needs to be arrested.
achieve clearly finally government interests overcome parity solutions strength
Individuals and communities need to clearly tell government if they want parity for First Australians. Only this will overcome the vested interests of governments and administrators and see these practical, inexpensive solutions for what they are: a way to finally achieve results, with the strength of will from each of us.
given politics
There's so many politicians who have given politics a pretty poor name... their actions have been demonstrated to be part of their over-enthusiasm to get reelected.
brother believe opportunity
This is the welfare generation, and that is incredibly sad. That will be judged in history as being far worse, I believe, than the stolen generation, because we are literally losing thousands and thousands of our indigenous brothers and sisters to the effects of welfare – drugs, gunja, low morale, alcoholism. I see it everyday and it can stop. The solution is education, training and a guaranteed opportunity.
running government needs
What I would say is governments need assistance to run their organisations more efficiently just like businesses do.
