Dawn, I believe that the government, if willing to answer, would only wish to address quantity questions such as those which were asked to compile the Statistical annex of the review of the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education policy 1993/4. However I believe that some sense of for want of a better word "Soul" needs to be injected into the debate which is not just about social just, equity and access but also about the reality of investing in Indigenous education and training . Australia has not moved as close to the concept of the clever country as it had wished or should have by this stage because the origins of the process come from exclusion rather than inclusion and the development of all possible talents and forms of "cleverness". However my comment to the list was to solicit from others what questions on Indigenous education and training policy they would like to ask the current federal government. So please tell me what you think would be appropriate.
