Below are some of the PWF reportings on the “NON PROGRESS” of my Aboriginal and Outback Experiences Super Highway Plan. This is a simple concept to give Overseas and Australian Visitors an opportunity to respectfully meet with Australia’s Aboriginal people and thereby be able to fully experience and know their culture, understandings and present life circumstances. Nearly all visitors to Australia (85%) have stated that they have an interest to meet with Aboriginal people and see and enjoy their Arts, dances, music and culture.
It operates on the simple basis of an interested visitor phoning ahead to Aboriginal Elders and their contacts on an throughout Inland NSW, who have placed their phone number on a list so that interested visitors can arrange a convenient time to visit with them. It also provides their activity and fair payment details.
Despite my being approached, and then engaged, and then paid, $10,000 by the NSW DOSRD to produce a respectful solution for progressing inland Aboriginal businesses, and despite this solution being unanimously agreed to, and applauded by all the Government, Council, Tourism and NPWS and Aboriginal Elders and delegates attending the Bourke Council Chambers Meeting to consider it and give full considerations as to its workability, Senior Officers of the NSW DOSRD subsequentally allowed inexperienced Junior Officers in their Department to alter the concept to a point where the idea became, disrespectful to its Aboriginal participants, and unworkable and it was subsequently abandoned. I am not in the blame game but in the “Progress Rural Australia” game which is why I have campaigned so extensively, and publicly, to have the concept be instituted a made a reality with a sole end objective of progressing the great State of NSW and its Inland Regions and its Aboriginal people.
