Interesting article Yak - those figures are quite staggering. I can't fathom how anyone could spend $450,000 refitting a shed only to sell it for $80,000. And the loss of the rest of the money is amazing for the short length of the business. It must be extremely difficult hard to keep a business running in a remote area like Charleville, but that is beyond belief. It shows how the government is still not serious about tackling the economic problems facing aborigines. Look on the bright side - it must be like Bathurst out there with all the young black kids driving shiny V8 Monaros, and the elders driving Statesmans (paid for by taxpayers as always).
