ABC News Sun, 26 Mar 2000 8:29 AEDT Time to set record straight on Aboriginal corporations: minister A former Uniting Church minister from the Northern Territory says it is about time the Australian public was made more aware of the results of a review of Aboriginal corporations. Jim Dowling says when the Coalition Government was first elected four years ago, it attacked ATSIC and implied that most Aboriginal corporations were rorting the system. He says that impression has stayed with many people. But Dr Dowling says an independent review found differently. "It stated that 95 per cent of the Aboriginal bodies were doing the right thing; now that would match any white organisation," he said. "Five per cent had difficulties and he put it down to remoteness, confusion about our system and very few wrong-doings." © 1999 Australian Broadcasting Corporation -- _________________________________ Truth is a pathless land. --- Krishnamurti ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
