Unfinished Business

One of the first things the newly elected PM Kevin Rudd did was to apologize for misconduct to all the native people of Australia, and assure us citizens (electorate) that it - primarily - would be the policy of the Labor government to reinstate Native People to their proper status as Australian citizens.

Nothing in this direction has happened since. Instead of withdrawing the troops,  Mr Rudd expanded their mission As a result of the Sorry speech, the practice in the field was to send army, police, private securities, Job Networks and then medical staff followed and supported by psychiatrists, prescription drugs, and strict rules for alcohol consumption, public assembly and parenting, with money handling controlled by the government trustees.

All those humiliating methods, which have been proven by now to crash down personalities, destroy lives, careers, families, and promote apathy and degradation.

The unfinished business talks about the old problem in a contemporary perspective
