From Campbelltown to Cape York - Rebuilding Community - July
1999 Noel Pearson, former Director of the Cape York Land Council,
looks at the devastating impact welfare has had on his mob on Cape
York. He describes welfare as an artificial economy ... before going on
to describe a new approach where the resources currently offered as
welfare would flow to the communities themselves which would play a
much more involved and active role in using the money provided.
