Moral high ground? What moral high ground?

Mal Brough vs his own ministerial portfolio

It seems that, despite Mal Brough being the Federal Minister for Indigenous Affairs, he doesn't like Aborigines much.

Unless, I suggest cynically, that is why he is the Minster for Indigenous Affairs...

Anyway, his latest weapon against the uppity Natives doing what they like is this gem.

First, after reading that

Let me be specific — if a person wants to move to a homeland that precludes regular school attendance, for example, I wouldn't support it. If a person wants to move away from health services, so be it — but don't ask the taxpayer to pay for a house to facilitate that choice.

I have to ask when the School of the Air and the Royal Flying Doctor Service are having all Federal funding withdrawn.

Further, how much do our friendly Federal Overlords spend on, oh, say, Aboriginal housing — total? How much on Aboriginal Health Services? And by that, I mean how much actually ends up spent for those purposes, not how much is given to more or less (usually less) representative boards to spend on 4WDs and fact-finding missions.

That is, if the Aboriginals in question don't get money or help from the government as it is, and have no realistic expectation of ever getting any, then what is the point in manfully declaring that they shouldn't expect any?

Irony just *wishes* that it was dead.

Our Zombie Attourney-General has taken irony, and is beating it to death in a dark alley.
