Episode notes
Shift in Indigenous Affairs Focus
- Labor's Indigenous affairs platform has disappeared in the latest election cycle after being very detailed previously.
- The Coalition focuses on auditing and accountability but seems to aim more at punishing Indigenous people than supporting them.
CDP's Punitive Impact
- The Community Development Program forced remote Indigenous people into unpaid work or lost welfare.
- The program's below-minimum wage and punitive nature created misery and was widely criticized.
Labor's Jobs Program Flaws
- Labor's Remote Jobs and Economic Development program mirrored many past failures and lacked proper Indigenous governance.
- It was rushed and top-down, showing neoliberal policymaking tendencies rather than community partnership.
