- What if Australia's approach to Indigenous disadvantage offers neither solutions nor value for money? This thought-provoking talk challenges current policies and suggests ways we, as individuals, in business and as a nation, can do better.
Kia is passionate about solving the economic disparity between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities in Australia. She helps co-create locally relevant solutions to complex business and social challenges. In doing this, she connects people from corporate, government, industry and community circles.
Kia is a Gija woman from Warmun Community (Turkey Creek) in the East Kimberley of Western Australia. Her traditional Aboriginal name is Wadjbarreyal and her skin name is Nangala.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
What a wise your woman, and this was in 2017, and has anything changed. I will share.
I love indigenous peoples and thank you so much for your work. Happy Holidays
Simpleton!
@@saneman8147 Yes. The rest of Australia, every person of every other race just has to work harder to put food on our own tables and feed an Aboriginal. We should all have equal rights. No one race should ever have MORE than the rest. It is then up to each and every one of us to make good through our hard work and individual intelligence.
@@ray6115 what has your comment to do with anything in this video? Bit random...!
@@ray6115 How ridiculous. Your white fragility is showing.
“Do we want to lead and impact on our children based on our personal biases, or let them to celebrate knowing the wonderful benefits of diversity?”
Every single Australian should watch this.
All around the world, where imperial countries have been built, the goal is to eliminate any land claim, or prior right to any kind of special status indigenous claim. This is done by slowly and unrelentingly trying to erode the patience of the indigenous communities, while boring the non-indigenous communities into ignorance; and then just waiting for it all to go away. Sad, but true. I agree we have to work together. and I agree that, until the money and decision making and exisiting reserve lands, are legally, in the hands of indigenous people, that nothing will ever change. Power to the people is a true and loaded term.
Indeed power to the people.
Indigenous make up less than 5% of Aussies.
Many of those are in all regards indistinguishable (skin colour and lifestye) from the mainstream population.
They are all ready the most overrepresented minority in both governmental departments and monetary grants, the burden of the hard working taxpayers.
Democracy is about the best interest of the many not the few.
What you propose is that a hostile, self entitled and uneducated minority should have power over the majority.
That the statistically laziest, least educated portion of the Australian population should govern the industrious, educated and hardworking people that have made this one of the best places in the world to live (even for those whinging self serving bludgers who demand more).
How about we put a stop to these racial divisions and make our country a single nation for all Australians all with the same basic rights and entitlements.
Let us not become a stratified society with a titled upper class who's hereditary right to rule comes ahead of and at the expense of what's best for the majority.
@@warwicklewis8735 Well done good Sir...you managed to put a dazzling shine on that Turd. I will use Irony for all my polishing needs from now on...Good Day to You.
Although she didn't seem to give any concrete solutions to the issue, after hearing her last statement, and reading the comments to this video...I think I can see a big part of the problem.
Every other race from the rest of the world, of all facial features and skin colour is out there doing their best, sometimes without education or even language skills. Aboriginals can too.
@@ray6115 what a bull. It's clear that deep-rooted racism has clouded your views on Aboriginal people. What makes you think that they're not doing their part?. But if the system is designed to bring you down, then whatever effort you put in will eventually fail, then become a cycle for younger generations who think they're " not good enough" . Which leads to psychological problems and alcoholism.
Why do you think we don't see many people of Aboriginal heritage with aboriginal facial features on Australian TV, parliament, or journalism ? not talking about mixed-blood people. I'm talking about Aboriginal people with darker complexion.
If you really cannot see that there isn't a disadvantage, then maybe you should spend a day in the library researching on the history of treatment of aboriginals in the 1970's - 1990's and why till today we still have a continual cycle of that issue.
@@jphuwae4505 Sure. Take no responsibility. Blame the system. You don't see much of other minorities on television either at least not as the hero. Oh wait a moment. Aboriginals have an ENTIRE CHANNEL NITV, for themselves. Every other minority has to share one channel, SBS. More excuses? Other minorities experienced the "white" Australia policy too but hey, they're going great guns. Many have NO English whatsoever but they work 16 hour days to make ends meet and then go on to educate their children to fit into mainstream Australian society. Many have similar features to pure blood Aboriginals and/or are darker but again they are working in jobs and at times no one else wants but hey, keep making excuses for Aboriginals. Almost all cannot even hide their race unlike mixed bloods but they're out there copping the abuse everyday AND succeeding. Guess what? They're doing it WITHOUT all the extra rights and benefits Aboriginals get. Keep up with the excuses. Can't work, won't work.
@@jphuwae4505 man, I don't think the meaning of whatever you said is understood by this Ray guy. After exchanging few comments, I get the feeling that a person like him is the one who will likely start colonizing other country just because he thinks they don't do their part, they didn't learn they way he think they should, they didn't do what he told them to do.
It is sad, we still have people with mindset like this guy in this world and he is one of the reason why we have world with endless conflict.
@@christophercolumbus9172 well said..
I see too many dominant culture approaches to address Indigenous concerns rather than approaches to reinforce community Law
The problem of generalisation is that you can't see the diversity within the group.
What makes the one succesful and the other not ?
"Indigenous disadvantage" or "indigenous responsibility" ?
@jo dirt indigenous make up less than 5% of the population (that is including a large proportion who live in a manner indistiguishable from mainstream society)
Why should such a tiny percentage have so much power ??
We all ready have indigenous representatives in our parliament.
They all ready take a staggeringly disproportionate large chunk of the tax pool for themselves.
For the last 50 years they have been promoting the "self determination" agenda which has empowered aboriginal leaders to have a say in funding programs.
This was flouted as the answer to indigenous social problems like drinking, domestic violence and jail.
Instead in that 50 years we have seen an increase in alcohol, drugs and the resulting violence and crime, we have seen no improvement in indigenous cultural problems.
The police now turn a blind eye to shoplifting and public drinking, this has been the only way to curb aboriginal jail intake, not to reduce the crime but instead allow it.
Once a week at my local bottleshop the aboriginal liaison comes in and pays for what was stolen because the cops won't charge them and the bottleshop can't afford them.
Do I want a parliamentary bill declaring that they can rob and steal without consequences....NO
Should every whinging self entitled minority be given a chamber.
Should we install a Hindi chamber ?
There are more Hindus living here than indigenous are they being given representation ??
What about drug addicts ??
It's estimated that around 6% of Aussies regularly use drugs not only don't they have government representation they are persecuted jailed and denied the opportunity to work.
@@warwicklewis8735 It seems you are a person of reason, fact and rational. I think I’d be safe to say you are a ____ Australian. Warwick this is a Tedtalk, merely a putting fourth of an idea. You also seem like a statistics savant, maybe only to reaffirm your own opinions which I assume your family, friends and work pals don’t resonate with. The good thing about RUclips is it’s anonymity, here is where you’ll get your validation. With that validation you may have to answer some questions? Your facts support the idea that indigenous people don’t want to help themselves. Based off an assumption about you I ask you this. If your family was one of the Penile colonies and lower house officials as well as the police consistently made laws so that your family through generations would get paid a slither compared to any other white man. Would you now be on top? Also if genocide was actioned on your bloodline. Knowing it kept you down to a point where you knew an aunt who had escaped or an uncle who fought back. Both of them equally put into obscurity and earning 5 cents to every dollar a white man made. Do you really think now as a RUclips commenter that you’d even be in the position where you are today? In the comfort of your house a disgruntled fork lift driver wanting to have a say?
@@perryperryprince3242 you seem a little confused.
Or maybe it is a delibrate attempt to twist the facts to suit your own narrative.
I was not talking about historic events my comment was about the here and now present day situation.
Historically the Irish, Italians and the Chinese also suffered discrimination.
I don't see these people moping around blaming the way their great grandparents were treated for their present day social problems.
These people seem to have managed just fine without demanding extra special treatment and racially exclusive handouts.
Obviously you have a different definition of "genocide".
In my dictionary it doesn't include free medical care education and legal representation.
It seems that the word has been devalued to suit the victim narrative of a people scrapping for excuses for their own failure.
As long as aboriginals continue to blame others for their failures they will continue to be excused of personal responsibility.
The first step to self improvement is to acknowledge your personal accountability.
🖤 HearT 🖤
Why do i get a feeling that she presented all of these information a little bit emotionally. It is so interesting to get to know all of these but sad how bad the situation is for aboriginal people in Australia.
Aboriginals in Australia have every right and benefit enjoyed by Australians of every race AND MORE. Aboriginals must choose to work instead of demanding others feed them. Why work when the government throws hard earned tax payer money at them?
@@ray6115 I heard similar kind of comment like this a lot addressed towards group of people like aboriginals in Australia. I personally think, it is not even government sole responsibility to 'care' for the aboriginal as a way to show they are sorry for what happened in the past, it's the whole nation who supposed to feel sorry and start thinking about what they could do to make things better for their fellow aboriginal. Especially because they are the one who originally live there first. The mentality, the way of perceiving them, and the existing negative stereotypes towards them has to be questioned, and change if it found not bringing anything positive.
@@christophercolumbus9172 Certainly. We have to begin to create an apartheid society. First People should have MORE rights, privileges and benefits than Second Peoples. Second Peoples should have MORE rights and benefits than Third Peoples etc. If we work really, really hard, we should be able to create a stratified society based on race and on who came first. On the other hand, we could learn to treat ALL races and all cultures here EQUALLY with tolerance and respect for ALL.
9:40
It's a great deal more than 5 billion
draw parallels with African States. Consult with Prof PLO Lummamba, Ambassodor Aricana.
Too deadly Kia
who does the $5 billion benefit?
the alcohol industry
White Australia
Aboriginals with their hands out. Give me. Feed me. I want.
@@ray6115 I hope you're joking.
Obviously not aboriginal communities, some of the living standards are equal to the third world. Government contracts handed out to a select few companies with, profit taking at every level with very little gov. Oversight as to whether the programmes are even working.
I think a first step would be having them be less rama rama.
She illustrates the biggest hurdle in the healing and progress of indigenous people. So many words and nothing was said. Ask her what the issue is and she will say something and nothing.
Much like yourself really..!
@@Escekar Ironic but not wrong
I suppose it’s because there’s no easy solution. Their worlds were torn apart: their culture, land, families and obligations stolen. It’s not easy to integrate back into society.
@@o_o-lj1ym at least you thought about the subject, you quickly analysed the information and history, then you made a thoughtful comment. We need more people like you to speak up. I really liked your comment..
Need more kinds of cash, coins, tokens, checks, gift cards, debit cards, credit cards, coupons, discounts, sweepstakes, and tickets yeah
European capitalist nature
smartest nature ever developed
"Aboriginals need to get a job" This is a quote from an Aboriginal couple that are hard working and it was directed to their own family members
Easy to say, hard to action due to ongoing implicit bias, subtle racism and covert discrimination and prejudice in many work places. One micro aggression toward an Aboriginal employee is enough to cause harm for them to quit a job and have the anxiety of that happening again.
This is coming from a proud Aboriginal man employed by the NSW government in child protection!
Please research the above points and words I wrote and you might get what I’m saying, that’s if you’re intelligent enough!
Including gender normals
As they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can't force it to drink. Aboriginals today already enjoy every benefit available to every other race in Australia AND MORE. Stop giving free stuff to Aboriginals. If something is free it won't be valued. Aboriginals have to choose to act, to earn what they have. Only then will they treasure it.
Australia is in the red. We borrow money from overseas simply to maintain our current standard of living. This means that we are burdening our children and grandchildren with paying back the loan plus interest. All Australians must pull their own weight and this includes Aboriginals. The gravy train has come to a stop. Aboriginals must work for a living like everybody else and earn respect and an equal place in mainstream Australia. No more free rides. Treat ALL Australians equally.
Equality is not equal if the playing field is not level. Equity is the only thing that can level the playing field. If you truly want an egalitarian society like you claim you want then we need to do MORE for the Indigenous communities
The original people of this country must go back to how they were living 250 years ago. They had the perfect life that was symbiotic with the land. That way of living is what they value and they treasure the land not "our standard of living". currency is destroying this land and one of the oldest cultures on earth along with it. please learn to respect their culture and their land so they will respect non indigenous people more and then only can we meet in the middle for equality.
Forcing a horse to water can also lead to the horse drinking, does this make the force moral I'm not sure, maybe we should ask the stolen generation!
@@rohancato7037 they are not asking to be left as they were 250 years ago.
They demand all the modern conveniences and luxuries that modern Australia has to offer.
But they refuse to partake of the effort required to earn these things.
They want modern houses equipped with air conditioning four wheel drive vehicles and the latest fashionable clothing.
What they don't want is the inconvenience of contributing their own time and efforts into earning those items.
We all live in the 21st century no one gets to stay in the era of their choosing.
Time marches on and whether we like it or not we must all adapt to the new.
Aboriginals like everybody else must accept the world as it is.
It is time to join the rest of the global community.
The simple concept of reward in return for effort is a universally accepted concept.
No one should be exempt from this based on racial heritage.
@@JoeyJoJo85 you are mistaking equality of opportunity for equality of outcome.
Aboriginals are already receiving a disproportionately large amount of opportunity.
Yet still they continue to rate poorly in outcome.
Obviously this system is a failure.
How long do we continue with something that is proven to be an expensive failure ??
"Insanity is to continue doing the same thing and expecting a different result"
@@warwicklewis8735 so wheres info also what is your suggestion
The only thing holding abroriginals back is the huge chip on their shoulder. They need to get over it and start living.
@jo dirt how intelligent.
@@NoTaboos so true they should take responsibility and better themselves
@@garyhost1830 who put the chip there
@jo dirt Waste of space!
@@steveboy7302 Themselves!
Why are all the TEDx talks from Australia about aborigines? Have these people got nothing better to talk about than the dying remnants of the stone age?
triggered
Stone age? Longest living humans on this earth you mean.
@@tuihicarre1583 haven't we all been here from the beginning ??
All people started out as stone age nomadic tribal hunter gatherer societies.
From this we have built and learned from our ancestors and others.
Weren't the Africans here first
@@nekonami392 They WERE Africans when they started out yeah. By the time they got to Australia et al they were something different.
The solution is when Jesus finds you.
Jesus did find them, then he chased them, killed them and stole their babies .so SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE.
