>NSW ATSIC Commissioner Charles Perkins has today slammed the Prime Minister
>for not taking on a leadership role regardless of the findings of the
>Council for Aboriginal Reconciliations, Saulwick study.
>
>"This was the perfect opportunity for the Prime Minister to show leadership
>in this country but again he has failed to do so.
>
>"This is the time the Prime Minister needs to support the Council and show
>some clear vision to the country.
>
>"If, as the Saulwick findings suggest, people are confused and there is a
>lack of education about Aboriginal issues should we not enlighten the
people
>so that the process can be furthered together from a clear and informed
>perspective," Commissioner Perkins said.
>
>"If the Prime Minister was sincere about his election night promise why
did
>he not take the moral high ground on this issue and secure his 'so called'
>commitment to the reconciliation process?
>
>"Instead he has shown himself to be a populist and has walked away from it.
>Why?
>
>"The Prime Minister's abandonment of the reconciliation process is a
>disaster for race relations in this country and will put the process back
>twenty years."
