Marcia Langton in John Pilger's 1986 film, "Secret Country".
An interesting contrast with her political position today.

@ashiola Done a lot to formulate policy? One stroke of the pen outweighed any good she could ever claim credit for!!

Aboriginal Sovereingty Sold out for Native Title by Greatest Traitors Australia has Ever Known

Im sure you can google the above for yourself

Actually, if you listen properly Mr Logan, she talks mainly (solely) about what Aboriginal people want. Perhaps she has come to accept that the govt is white but I wouldn't say she's supporting paternal bureaucrats. She has done a lot to formulate policy. I don't know what you've done, but like others, you're happy to try and cut her down. Get a job or something.

Here she is in 1986 complaining about white people running the show in communities...but today she's quite happy to support the intervention being run by dopey, paternalistic bureaucrats in Canberra.

I hate it when people put their impressions of hunter gatherer ideals onto modern-day Aboriginal ideals as though they are one and the same. Maybe we should put the same impressions onto white Australians too, as their ancestors were also once hunter gatherers.

Has Marcia now been "de humanised".
