An excerpt from the debate in the NSW Legislative Council on 12/03/09 on a self congratulatory motion by the Rees Labor Government for their progess with Aboriginal Education. This excerpt concentrates on Trevor Khan's contribution in which he asserts that such self congratulatory motions do nothing to address the gap in indigenous social and economical outcomes.
Is remoteness the main obstacle to closing the gap? Meaning - is it more of a geographic problem than an aboriginal problem? Or are both points a factor in the disparity between mainstream education and aboriginal education?
