Beyond Prison Investing in Solutions that work for Young Indigenous Australians;
Back Issues
The time has come for Indigenous leaders to think and work cooperatively at national levels. While individual Aboriginal regions can make a difference for their own communities, unless we learn from existing projects and move to a national scale of development then the same problems that have beset Indigenous Australia in the past will continue.
In this edition of Australian Prospect we begin with two major strategies that must be upscaled nationally. The Work Placement Strategy trialled on Cape York must, as Milton James argues, be expanded to become a national program. In a 94,402 word plunge into the day to day battles that characterised this program, James puts an overwhelming case for expansion. Secondly the mining training strategy pioneered by Ngarda Civil & Mining must be radically upscaled to provide mining training for 1000 Indigenous trainees each year. This group will form the basis for more highly skilled Indigenous mining professionals in the years to come. These are urgent tasks which cannot be fudged.
Australian Prospect is a forum for the development of policies and thinking about Australia’s future. Our chief medium is serious, detailed research (no blogs, opinion columns, or articles that are designed around adverts). Our goal is to create an independent base for new thinking. We profit-share with our contributors based on the number of downloads that their papers achieve. Our online format opens endless possibilities for the way ideas can be developed. AP is not constrained by the printed magazine or book format. We develop working themes that emerge over time with new contributors and ideas. New working themes arise from old ones. AP is all about instincts, ideas, new ways forward. We will draw your attention to new editions and ideas that emerge from our back issues. We invite your working papers! And we encourage long well thought out written papers. Yes you can blog us with your instant impressions and we may even occasionally publish them in our feedback section. Editor
Submissions, critiques , ideas for working themes should be sent online to pbotsman@bigpond.com
