“As a result of the program at Coonana, we were again asked to return to help the community re-assess their needs and to formulate some ideas on how they could tackle a few of the other identified key areas. We used a similar approach to the year before, putting topic headings onto a large sheet of paper and then getting people to write down ideas on how to achieve progress in this area. The response from these people was magnificent, and again I reiterate the point of how often have we seen non-Aboriginal people go into Aboriginal communities to tell them that they know best, and make no attempt to listen to or solicit the Aboriginal viewpoint.”
