Melissa has written a piece in the Guardian today about the Western Australian Governments decision to close 150 remote indigenous Australian communities in WA. We have long followed the principle of universality of service in Australia – and though we haven’t always been able or, in some cases, willing to fully deliver on that principle, it has actually been a reasonably consistent feature of government policy and administration. That’s why it is hypocritical in the extreme for the cessation of support to Aboriginal communities to be put forward on the basis that the communities in question are small and unsustainable. theguardian/commentisfree/2014/dec/09/aboriginal-people-are-entitled-to-be-treated-as-human-beings-not-just-as-a-fiscal-problem?CMP=share_btn_link
