The Auditor-General has refused to sign off on the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Education’s financial report for the second year in a row, citing previous failings that have not been corrected, including unsubstantiated student numbers used to access Federal and Territory funding.
Julie Crisp’s scathing disclaimer included in her audit report of the institute’s financial statement for the year ending December 31, 2022, signed off by her last November, echoes her disclaimer for the 2021 financial report, with the most recent Batchelor financial statement tabled in the NT Legislative Assembly on February 14 this year.
Australia doesn’t need an Aboriginal Voice to parliament it needs an Audit of the Aboriginal Industrial Money Laundering System. Elders are failing to mentor & educate kids, can’t keep blaming everyone else.
Elders have no authority anymore as their status has been taken away by our stupid Government. When your power has been taken away you think ‘WTF’ I will go drinking with the rest of them. The Elders controlled them until a time when we said it is not in your authority. Pretty fkn dumb eh?
Enough of free handouts, time for some jailtime to be given out.
Well passed time some hard decisions were made to either get the place back on track or close it down.
How dare we question the wastefulness of Indigenous spending. We have gone from a mostly cohesive society to a Country facing Terrorism and violence from renegade ‘Indigenous’ population whose voices don’t come from their ”Elders’ but from these nobodies who would have been killed at birth if not for western intervention.
This ‘Stolen Generation’ was not taken to steal their culture, as part-aboriginal would never be given the opportunityto learn their full culture if they survived, but to protect them from the beliefs of their (now) ‘so called ‘ people. Which was identified early on as a death sentence. Yet these semi-educated (in true aboriginal culture) are dictating to ‘Woke’ people and Politicians about a culture that they will never understand.
Until the true Elders are given back their RESPECT, AUTHORITY and POWER we will never understand the complexity and truth of their culture and beliefs. 60,000 plus years of knowledge will be lost through greed and ignorance.
There are few true elders left, do you want to lose their knowledge because the greedy feel that reparations are more important than truth.
Search now for those few Elders (Full-Blood) left and try to learn from them before they decide that they are no longer important in their society as many already have. It is not the Indigenous representing themselves but the semi-indigenous (an offensive label) thinking that they represent the true indigenous.
I would respect the teachings of a true Elder however I can not accept that anyone less than a full-blood has been taught the true beliefs of our proud indigenous.
Just read some publications from the late 1800s early 1900s, although some are particularly biased towards the achievements of themselves.
