Action Does Speak Louder Than Words

Not much has changed for Australia's Indigenous people since Prime Minister Kevin Ruud sorry to them did say For wrongs against them by Australian Governments the hurt of the past is slow to go away We may never again have the Stolen Generation But many Indigenous Australians live in poverty It is sad to think that many First Australians are doing it tough in the twenty first century Ruud's sorry on behalf of the Government in itself was a good thing but something that hardly does seem good enough For Australia's poor Indigenous people the forgotten have nots who are doing it tough The sorry words have been said but Government action has not followed to the Stolen Generation compensation has not been paid Action does speak louder than words it does seem though at reconciliation an attempt has been made Many First Australians are poor in their own Land they never really did get a fair go Financially many of them are poor people for Australia's financial good years they have nothing to show Bureaucrats from their Lands have stripped the resources treated as second class citizens in their own Land To honour them never a Public Holiday something that seems hard to understand Not much of an improvement on the First Australians lot since Sorry Day this time last year Whilst others are growing wealthier they are doing it tough at least that's how it does appear.
