Closing the Gap: Stolen children to be given $378m redress
PAIGE TAYLOR
INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT, WA BUREAU CHIEF
GREG BROWN
JOURNALIST
AUGUST 5, 2021
Thousands of Indigenous Australians who were removed from their families as children and taken to commonwealth-run facilities will receive a one-off $75,000 payment under a $378m redress scheme to be outlined by Scott Morrison on Thursday.
The reparations will put pressure on Western Australia and Queensland – the only states that do not have redress schemes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people taken from their families under historic policies – to match the commitment.
The Prime Minister, outlining the government’s response to the new national Closing the Gap agreement, will tell parliament an apology for the Stolen Generations is not enough.
“We have already confronted it with the national apology. But our deeds must match our words,” Mr Morrison will say, according to an early copy of his speech obtained by The Australian. The payment, he will say, is “in recognition of the harm caused by forced removal”.
“And it will give each survivor the opportunity, should they wish, to tell their story, and receive an individual apology.
“This is a long-called-for step. Recognising the bond between healing, dignity, and the health and wellbeing of members of the Stolen Generations, their families and their communities.
“To say, formally, not just that we’re deeply sorry for what happened, but that we will take responsibility for it.”
About 3200 people in the Northern Territory and 400 in the Australian Capital Territory will qualify for the scheme.
It is due to begin in 2022, 25 years after the Bringing Them Home report found that, under international law, from approximately 1946 the policies of forcible removal amount to genocide.
The report concluded that between one in three and one in 10 Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their communities between 1910 and 1970.
Mr Morrison will reveal the redress payments as part of the commonwealth’s $1bn response to the new national agreement on Closing the Gap, a 10-year plan to reduce Indigenous disadvantage against 17 targets.
The new spending on Closing the Gap includes $160m on children’s health and early learning and $254m for community-controlled Aboriginal health groups.
Those organisations impressed the government by efficiently rolling out Covid-19 vaccinations to remote communities and – in some cases – by using their rapport with residents to counter misinformation about vaccines. The money will be used to upgrade health clinics and build staff accommodation as the organisations assume a bigger role as part of Closing the Gap measures. Indigenous Australians Minister Ken Wyatt says the organisations will do critical work, and on their terms.
The last Closing the Gap agreement is considered a failure because Australia did not meet five out of seven targets set in 2008. The new agreement differs in part because it is signed by each state and territory – as well as a coalition of 50 peak Indigenous organisations – in a commitment to work together to meet annual goals. Aboriginal community-controlled organisations will do much of the work currently done by non-Indigenous organisations and government departments.
The government decided to go ahead with the redress scheme after discussions with The Healing Foundation, whose chief executive Fiona Cornforth had been briefed on its operation on Wednesday and described it as an important step “to end these cycles of trauma”.
“We are so emotional about what will be announced,” Ms Cornforth said. “We have worked really hard as an organisation to elevate the voices of stolen generation survivors, their descendants and their families.
“We know, because the data is clear now, that because of removal these survivors carry a burden that is significant … we welcome this and we look forward to helping to build a scheme that will do no more harm.”
Mr Morrison will say the Closing the Gap process instigated by the Rudd government was “born of the best intentions” but “remained hard of hearing”.
“It is why this government brought together a new 10-year (agreement), signed by all Australian governments, the Coalition of Peaks and the Australian Local Government Association,” Mr Morrison will say.
“And from that partnership, the National Agreement on Closing the Gap was born.
“Today, we make the promises of that agreement real with the presentation of the first commonwealth implementation plan.
“In financial commitments, partnership, shared accountability and scope, this is the most significant and comprehensive response to Closing the Gap that the government has ever provided,” Mr Morrison will say.
An annual commonwealth progress report will be tabled by the government in parliament
Mr Morrison will say the ultimate test for the plan will be providing every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander child “the same opportunities and expectations as any other Australian”.

THE Central Land Council (CLC) is offering all its employees, the majority of whom are Indigenous, a cash incentive of $500 to get the Covid-19 jab.
It’s believed to be the first NT business or organisation to offer a financial payment to get vaccinated against the coronavirus.
CLC chief executive Lesley Turner said the organisation began offering the incentive due to a lack of government awareness campaigns targeted at Aboriginal people.
“We had to do something before it’s too late and we get community transmission of the highly infectious Delta strain here in the Territory,” he said. “We wanted to encourage a higher uptake of vaccinations in our remote communities because our Aboriginal health services tell us the vaccine uptake has been very patchy.”
Mr Turner said when the cash campaign kicked off five weeks ago, just two per cent of his 200 employees were vaccinated.
He said that figure has now spiked to almost 100 employees, which includes elected Aboriginal councillors and executive members.

Re the new Ivermectin study, I’d be interested to know the vax status of the participants. Unless controlled for, it could be a confounding factor. I would expect they have it covered, but you can’t tell from the summary.
Re M0nty – he starts with the assumption a good site would need moderation, and Bird is the classic exemplar of that. He says his moderation would follow that of Sinc. I suspect he would stick by that. Adam says he is addressing the issue of how to moderate. We shall have to see how that turns out.

Education Minister Alan Tudge has slammed a Brisbane school which set students a task to describe why we should change the Australian flag.
James Morrow
DAILY TELEGRAPH
While Aussie athletes go for gold in Tokyo, Australian students are being taught to denigrate the flag and anthem they are competing under, according to federal Education Minister Alan Tudge.
Pointing to a civics and citizenship class assignment for Year 7 students given out at high school in Brisbane’s northern suburbs, Mr Tudge said it was a clear example of how some in the education establishment are trying to “undermine our country, its symbols and institutions”.
The exercise calls for students to “complete a three-minute speech to the Youth Parliament on why we need to change the Australian anthem or flag to reflect the values and identity of Australian society today”.
“In the middle of the Olympics, where the country is singing the anthem and waving our flag, this is what the school sets?” Mr Tudge asked.
“It doesn’t even give students the opportunity to take their own position. Rather, they have to say why the flag no longer reflects us.
“Mainstream Australia is sick to death of those elements in the education system trying to undermine our country, its symbols and institutions.”
Mr Tudge pointed to the assignment as an example of why students are doing so poorly in civics and citizenship education.
Earlier this year, tests revealed that just 38 per cent of Year 10 students and 53 per cent of Year 6s were able to achieve a “proficient” standard in civics and citizenship, reflecting a continuing slide in their understanding of the workings of Australian democracy that has been occurring for at least a decade.
Currently, the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) is taking feedback on a draft revised curriculum in all subject areas.

None of us like Nazis just like none of us like communists but you don’t encourage physical violence against your ideological opponents….back in January 2017 when the “punch a nazi” meme became popular, during and after Trump’s inauguration, most people dismissed it but I didn’t. All that did was provide a convenient umbrella for the left to pursue anyone with right of centre opinions…and that’s exactly what we’ve seen in the four years since. They’ve also deliberately cheapened the label “Nazi”….so now anyone who disagrees with the left is a “Nazi”. All of this suits the left….smearing their ideological opponents as Nazis works well in shutting down and silencing debate on important issues….such Islaaaaaaaaaaam, immigration, SSM and so on. It is the right who can’t hold conference and gatherings without far-left protesters screaming “Nazi” or “faaaaaar-riiiight” at them…it is right-wing commentators who are regularly smeared as “Nazi” or “faaaaar-riiiiiight”. I could go…..but this is also related to the tech giants and their censoring and shutting down of alternative opinions. Everyone on the right is a Nazi now…it’s a great way of destroying your opposition.

Mater, with the anti-Semitism running free here (and, as with paedophlia, I am not sure that mode expression is the only problem if these raise their ugly heads) and with M0nty’s support for lockdowns which I am on a public record (The Great Barrington Declaration) not just a blog record of being against, I was feeling M0nt’s option was the better of two weevils.
Adam has sanitised this blog now and I applaud that.

In less than four days, this site is almost… almost like the old one.
The smiting was the hard part, will be easier in time and with a shared oversight.

Lizzie,
Please always remember, Monty will run that site from now until cholesterol clogs his arteries. Bird is merely a commenter, who is smiteable at the push of a button.
The potential damage of these two weevils aren’t comparable, especially if fatboy’s site becomes the only show in town.

For naval cats, Drach has put up a video on HMAS Armidale . Haven’t watched it yet .
Today take a look at the brief career and sinking of HMAS Armidale, and the efforts thereafter to ensure proper recognition for what was done that day, with an extensive account by the last of the ships crew.

The text below is only a short extract from a longer letter.
There is more at the link at the bottom of this text, I encourage you to click the link and continue reading it.
“Directors: Dr Eamonn Mathieson, Dr Mark Hobart and Dr Robert Brennan
Dear Doctor, Health Professionals and Fellow Australians
Monday 2nd August 2021
We, your fellow doctors, write to you motivated only by our concern for the welfare of our patients and the health of our community.
Every doctor, like any individual, must answer to their own conscience. Doctors in particular must answer to an Oath, the swearing in of which has fallen away, yet not without leaving its spirit alive. This oath was, and is, founded upon “primum non nocere” or “first do no harm”.
And so this letter is aimed at reminding all doctors of our ethical obligations and to furnish our consciences with information so that none can claim “I did not know” or “I was wrongly advised” or “I was just following orders”.
The people of Australia face unprecedented, pervasive and coercive “States of Emergency” with severe restrictions to liberty and widespread impacts on health, life and livelihoods. “Flattening the curve” for a few weeks has become 18 months of fear, anxiety and control. Much of it unnecessarily contrived through sensationalist media, failed political leadership that has abrogated its responsibilities to academic and health bureaucrats who appear far removed from the realities and sufferings of ordinary Australians.
In early 2020, the Australian government, following the example of other countries, and the sudden aboutturn of the World Health Health Organisation (WHO), abandoned long-established and existing pandemic guidelines in favour of enforced lockdowns, mask mandates, mass-testing, digital surveillance, border closures and the quarantining of the healthy. This approach was novel, untested and unprecedented.
We have had multiple on-again/off-again lockdowns, mask “mandates”, the coercion and mandating of novel and unproven vaccine technology, invasions to privacy in the forms of QR check-in codes and severe economic stress. In the reckless pursuit of the mirage of an unattainable ‘Covid Zero’ state, 400 Australians die every day from all causes. These Australians are dying within a grossly disrupted heath care system and while their loved ones are inhumanely denied the opportunity to properly mourn them.
Whilst in 2021 to the 23rd of July, we had five registered deaths attributed to Covid 19.
Put simply, we have focussed on one disease to the exclusion of all others. This global public health experiment has clearly failed, having caused untold harm to literally billions of people.
A return to long established, evidenced-based pandemic preparedness guidelines must now be urgently sought.
The collateral damage from lockdowns is clear; significant harm is being inflicted upon humanity, and devastating health and wellbeing across the globe. Vulnerable and disadvantaged communities, and especially children, are paying the highest price. Evidence suggests lockdowns have not reduced mortality from COVID-19, and they provide little benefit over less restrictive measures. In addition, there are grave concerns lockdowns may ultimately result in a longer and more lethal pandemic, with many unforeseen and unintended health consequences.”

M0nty is not my favourite lefty, and he has certainly said plenty of stupid things and plenty of unpleasant things. If you are an intellectual slob and let the collective do your thinking for you, that’s going to happen. I do not think he’s evil nor do I think he’s insane. He’s the sort of halfwit who likes provoking people by putting up opinions to which he has no great commitment just to annoy them. Getting a reaction got him all excited, poor fish.
I’m quite prepared to post on his site. It is lunatic free, if he keeps his word, I’ll keep visiting, if he breaks it, I’ll drop him. I’m a kindly and charitable man; he’s on probation.

A lot of what is going on is quite revealing, power struggles, people who love nothing better than the ‘excitement’ of flitting from blog to blog like social butterflies, attention seekers and some I’m afraid with more selfish ends in mind.

K2, in response to your question on the previous thread.
If disease could be spread then nobody would survive a trip to the doctor. Doctors themselves would have the lifespan of a fruitfly – a fruitfly that was into BASE jumping.
But disease can be shared amongst siblings, classmates, colleagues etc. It usually isn’t but it certainly can be.
So disease can be shared but it cannot be spread.
That leaves two candidates for the cause of disease:
Poisoning and stress (trauma).
In the case of your army buddies it would have been the latter most likely. Note that the symptoms that we notice tend to come when the stress (trauma) is resolved.
That’s why colleagues will often get sick at the end of a large project or people often get sick when they go on holidays.
This seems bizarre until you understand that the (usually unrecognized) symptoms in the active (trauma) phase serve a biological (survival) purpose whereas the (always recognized) healing (post-trauma) phase symptoms are a rebalancing.
This leaves us with an understanding of everything disease related without having to guess or make up stuff to fit the narrative.
The length and severity of the “disease” (ie the healing phase) will be directly determined by the length and severity of the preceding trauma.

Thanks for putting this up I read about this organisation and these doctors in relation to the Brazilian young woman who died for lack of treatment or died from treatment that actually killed her. The family had reached out to this organisation but by the time the form-filling and permissions etc… were done it was too late.
I hope the family of that young woman sues the ‘health professionals’ for medical negligence because IMHO this young woman died needlessly. Then under oath we can get the Chantery to attest to what actions were/weren’t taken and why
I donated on Monday to this organisation and have emailed them about my personal situation and have alerted my family to my wishes.

yes, it is always correct to punch Nazis. They lost the right to not be punched in the face when they started spouting genocidal ideologies that in living memory killed millions upon millions of people.
Yet munty (the fat fascist fool) has consistently refused to condemn the crimes of communism, which murdered and committed genocide against far more people than the Nazis/fascists ever killed.
Hope my formatting works!

Yes Cassie. I saw a good picture that explains the situation. Ban the so-called “far-right” and that just means the people who are still allowed to speak aren’t very right wing at all. But of course, relative to the acceptable discourse, there are now some people who are “far-right” and so therefore should be banned. And so on and so on until the only discussion you are allowed to have is whether there are 80 genders or 80 million.
Jesse Kelly is another one who saw this. None of the “respectable” libertarian institutions like Cato or Reason did. Neither did Trump unfortunately.
What a tragedy about Trump. He was oh so close to being one of the greatest ever presidents but instead will go down in history as the guy who handed the US over on a silver platter to communists.
He trusted Zuckerberg and Dorsey and, worse, he trusted doctors. And now Western civilisation is collapsing because of it.
