Hi Miss Eagle

To be honest, I had never heard of MJD (Groote Eyland Syndrome) before this article.
As for Jenny Macklin, she d=just doesn't get it.
.
Instead of ordering a senior bureaucrat to go through the Program with a fine tooth comb, it needs a total re-think, form the top of Government, down. That's not likely to happen.
.
And she's still "blaming the victims":
"Mr Yunupingu's changed position is disappointing at a time when alcohol abuse, violence, crime and poor education and health outcomes are hurting NT indigenous communities." JM - The Australian.
.
Thanks for this post.

Thank you for that supportive comment, Denis. I think the failure of policy has to be admitted publicly and people have to go back to the drawing board. Sure time has been wasted but over 2 years have already gone by. I think Henderson - as he walks his personal and political tightrope as Chief Minister - has to reflect the true story back to Macklin: if he is capable of doing so.
