“To my mind, you cannot speak about the need for leadership within our communities without being prepared to take on responsibility yourself. It's not enough to point the finger at those who have let us down and to expect others to come forward and fix our problems. Nor can anyone afford to call themselves a leader unless they truly have the interests of our community at heart. Too many people like to think they are leaders and too many are identified by the media as leaders who are not really leaders at all.” PeopleThinkingNeedsMindHeartEnoughProblemSpeakInterestCommunityResponsibilityLeaderMediaDown AndPreparedFingersOur Community Author:Jackie Huggins
“The true essence of reconciliation is more than making friends with nonindigenous people. Our motto is united Australia, one that respects the land and the heritage of its indigenous peoples and provides justice and equity for all. I think reconciliation is about changing the structures that govern us and trying to influence opinion leaders in whatever way we can.” PeopleThinkingWayTryingJusticeUnitedLeaderOpinionInfluenceLandEssenceStructureAustraliaHeritageMottoEquityIndigenousReconciliationIndigenous PeopleMaking FriendsOpinion Leaders Author:Jackie Huggins
