I saw several hundred Indigenous people gathered in Coober Pedy to discuss their royalties, fight for rights or compensation for lost homelands. Which are very honourable causes. My question is about the handouts of credit cards to each member for few hundred and more, depending on their status within in the claim. Over 500 credit cards alone of total over $100’000 were distributed. Good luck to them and other businesses who benefited from providing services or accommodations. I am glad for Coober Pedy economy and good luck to all.
And my concern is about how much of it was spent on alcohol and drugs? More than half of recipients spent it on alcohol, gambling and drugs. It’s their choice what they do with royalties but how does that fit in with dry area map of grog restrictions? Gambling it isn’t doing much good to our economy either and some of those cards ended up in the hands of drug dealers who swapped the cards for tiny bags of illicit or prohibited drugs. Those cards will be used to further the cause of drug dealers further down the track And that is commendable. There is far bigger issue of prolonging sufferings as community, Aborigine or non Aborigine. There are many other reasons that I can’t put my finger on right now for this practice to be audited by the society before it’s too late for very next generation. Little background information is relevant here and that is what 1993 native title act granted Aborigine people thanks to John Howard administration. Since then over 500 such native bodies around Australia are milking through these ratbag scheme. There might be few who be lucky enough to use this gift for their communal benefits but not here in Coober Pedy where Anangu certainly could’ve done better. I think when intelligent visited Coober Pedy and knocked at their doors for any takers, response of current leaders might’ve been,
“what we need that for, we are from Kupa Piti.
