Indigenous Australians

This is, was, and always will be Gundungurra country, and the Gundungurra people are the true custodians of this land.

I would like to pay my respect to their elders, past and present, and acknowledge the stories, traditions, and living cultures of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Also, guys, I am not a health professional and neither is my brother Blake.

But please, anytime you hear anything spoken by either myself or my guests on this podcast, please always remember to seek out your own personal medical advice before it comes to making any changes to your overall health or your diet.

We pay our respects to the traditional custodians of this land and to elders past and present.

We also would love to extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people listening today and remind you all that sovereignty was never ceded and it always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

It's a Lot is

Hey everyone, as you can tell by the title, we're doing Love Island recaps.

And Chok Mundine was there.

He played in the over-50s Australian Indigenous and he and Perry Haddock, the founder of Vostag, they had a good reminisce of St. George's Day and that grand final.

It's the Guardian Essential Edition of the Australian Politics Podcast, and voters don't have much positive feedback for our politicians this month.

More Australians than ever believe the country is on the wrong track.

Labor's primary vote is on par with One Nation, but voters aren't convinced that One Nation or the Coalition would do a better job than the current government.

To take us through the data and to discuss what the government should be aiming to do during this period of malaise, I'm talking with Essential Media Chair, Peter Lewis.

We often talk a lot about One Nation and the coalition, but I think this month there's a lot in this for Labor and not a whole lot of good news, but maybe like a bit of a silver lining on some of these things.

Take us through the top line numbers.

The things that really stood out to me were Anthony Albanese is at his highest disapproval rating or equal highest, but at the same time, There's the largest number ever, I think, in the essential poll of Australians who say the country is on the wrong track.

So, yeah, it's a good time to be looking at Labor.

Whether a paternalistic approach is unavoidable for Indigenous ethnic minorities.

What explains the ongoing gap in health, education, life expectancy and other metrics between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

We also examined critically many of the oft-repeated statements about and programs that have been put in place to help Indigenous Australians and much, much more.

I hope you enjoy the script.

Gary Johns, welcome back to the NatCon Australia podcast.

And we had a very, very strong push by elites in this country to divide our citizenship.

So yeah, I mean, if you think that apartheid is challenging, we have been challenged.

How should we understand the Indigenous people, Aboriginal people of Australia? Are they like an ethnic minority that exists in other countries of Europe, like the Gypsies, say like the Druze in Israel or the Andaman Islanders? Or are they like Greek Australians, another group that have varying degrees of attachment to their original homeland, just but one of many a multicultural society?
