Australia is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. It has beautiful cities and a splendid countryside. It has enriched its society by absorbing large numbers of immigrants since World War II. It takes part in world affairs. It is well regarded for its scientific, cultural and sporting achievements. In the midst of this plenty, the extreme deprivation of so many Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders is deeply shameful.… (más)

A debate about the causes of the present deprivation and the solutions is essential for effective policy reform. p. 5
'Tribal' tourism has considerable potential, with a large and growing demand from high income countries for glimpses of traditional societies. The absence of modern amenities is an attraction to this type of tourist so that it is possible to charge $1000 a night in a tent with bush walks to significant sites and 'bush tucker'. The annual Garma Festival attracts large, well-heeled crowds to East Arnhem Land every year. p. 63
Some Indigenous private entrepreneurs have gone into business successfully, building on their working experience in the mainstream tourist industry. They have been hindered by the absence of private property rights and have had to locate on freehold land outside the 'homelands'. They have to be strong-minded when clans demand a share of their earnings. p. 63
Indigenous Tourism Australia should be justifying its existence by evaluating the costs and benefits of expanding 'tribal' tourism, recognising where progress is taking place, extending the network of significant sites and national parks and stimulating suppliers to provide appropriate facilities. p. 64
The smallest group (of Indigenous Australians), about 90,000 people, live in some 1,200 'homeland' settlements established in remote Australia from the 1970s. These families are the most deprived. Most are totally dependent on welfare. p. 3
Tragically, the plight of the 'homelands' arose out of the best of intentions. The 'homelands' were designed to enable Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders to enjoy their traditional lands as hunter-gathers with culturally rich lives. Unfortunately, social and economic indicators - security, employment, incomes, educational attainment, health and housing - show that these expectations have been cruelly disappointed. p. 5

When Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children sit side by side with other Australia children in school, TAFE and university classes, when they take their places as doctors and scientists, when it is no longer remarked that Members of Parliament and Cabinet Minister are Indigenous, and above all, when there is no social or economic indicator that shows a lower standard for Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders than for other Australians, only then will Australia be able to hold up its head because a 'fair go' will have become a reality.
