    The only shame is you continually trying to make anything and everything the fault of Tony Abbott.

    Throwing more money at Aboriginals wont help them 1 iota. They already get plenty.

    Unless and until they themselves are prepared to make changes, those that live in rural and remote communities will continue to suffer the problems you list above, purely self inflicted in terms of alcohol and drug abuse, sexual abuse, poor hygiene and rampant out of control violence, usually directed against women.

    You explain to me, how an Aboriginal who wants to live in a remote community in the Pilbara or Kimberley, hundreds of kilometres from even a modest sized town, is going to have a life expectancy comparable to the vast majority of Australians that live in large towns or the major cities?
    You tell me how that same Aboriginal person is going to find and hold down a job, living in such a place?
    You tell me how the government is going to provide 4yo kindergarden places in these remote communities, some of which only have 20 or 30 residents?

    You don't have a clue. I would wager you've never been anywhere near an Aboriginal community in the bush.
    Anything to sling some dirt on Abbott.

    What did Labor do for the past 6 years to improve Aboriginal health and employment?
    Don't bother.
