Sensible statement of the year
About time some sanity entered this issue ! Screw the apology, Warren Mundine has a much better idea for the aboriginal people. Give them a dose of wealth creating capitalism and property rights, instead of miserable poverty generating socialism.

SENIOR Labor Aboriginal leader Warren Mundine has warned the Rudd Government not to touch the 99-year lease scheme over communal indigenous land after the Government said it would investigate the "effectiveness" of the system.
Mr Mundine sternly warned that any change to the Howard government's home ownership initiative would wind back economic development on indigenous land and condemn Aborigines to poverty forever.
Mr Mundine, the former Labor president who first proposed the introduction of 99-year leases over community land, said it was time for Labor to abandon the communal land concept, which had done nothing but impoverish black communities.
