Larissa I have really bad news for you. You speak about the European Union having a human rights frame work like its some sort of standard Australian Aboriginal people should look up to. The native peoples of Europe (yes go and research it) like the Basques are murdered by Spanish and French special forces elements of their secret services and police units. Half the liberation movement of Herri Batasuna the equivelant of your land rights movement are in Jails. Wake up and smell the coffee love.

That's a woman who's education is no less than Doctorate and Master from Harvard University, a Supreme Court Barrister and on top of that she's Aboriginal - you can't get better than that!

Im astounded to learn that Larrissa is still quite young & she speaks with the confidence & knowledge of someone much older.Better than current & past Australian leaders, PM's included.I cant help but see that she will be a prominent leader in Australian politics (if that is what she chooses).And that will be a good outcome for Indigenous people.

Very intellegent person. Larissa for PM.
