ddzx,
"Twiggy only wanted to give them jobs".
And what do you think comes with those jobs???
1. A steady income.
2. Self respect and self worth.
3. A future to look forward to.
You are very Naive!
Greater royalties, or royalties at all does not mean a better life or better future for remote community members.
Only very few benefit from royalties being paid, the greater community rarely benefit!
The royalties usually go to a select few who are wealthy.
I know some TO's that have million dollar homes in Darwin, (if they havn't gambled a lot of it away at the casino), flash cars etc yet their communities remain impoverished, children malnourished, gambling, alcohol and drug addiction, rife domestic violence and child molestation issues.
Twiggy is looking to provide a future of self worth and respect and pride in these people not make a small number of families wealthy.
