I really do think I can make a contribution in helping eliminate the disparity here in Australia and doing my small bit to help eliminate slavery around the world. These are huge issues for our fellow countrymen and our fellows in the world, where slavery is growing at an alarming rate, and it needs to be arrested.

We do need an attitude of leadership in our government which demonstrates faith in major population centres outside of Perth.

Individuals and communities need to clearly tell government if they want parity for First Australians. Only this will overcome the vested interests of governments and administrators and see these practical, inexpensive solutions for what they are: a way to finally achieve results, with the strength of will from each of us.

I'd like to keep our kids in their schools. I'd like to keep our young men and women in jobs.

I don't really have funny things to say about politics. I wish I did, but I don't.

It's better to be married to someone who hates your politics than someone who hates your momma.

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.

Not only has Paul Ryan not died on any hill for a position he believes in to make government smaller, he hasn't even skinned his knee.
