THE PERFECT STORM: A stillborn rep body?
Issue 193 - 21 Jan 2010
ISSUE 193, January 21, 2010: The National Congress of Australia's First Peoples may be dead before it was even born.
2010 will be the year that confirms or rejects that.
Debate over the Congress has been fierce, particularly around the creation of an ethics council which will sit over the congress to ensure that anyone elected to the peak body is a fit and proper person.
Tasmanian Aboriginal leader Michael Mansell called creation of the ethics council "patronising and discriminatory".
Aboriginal Australia will notch up five years without a national elected body in 2010.
