michael manse is a writer and activist who is from tasmania.people. the process that led up to 250 aboriginal people from around australia meeting here were set up by the federal parliament so they anticipate that aboriginal people are going to come up with a policy which, if it is adopted by the federal parliament, could make a real difference to the lives of aboriginal people. so it may well be the case that we will come up with things that the federal government would prefer we did not come up with but because they are endorsing the process , we but because they are endorsing the process, we think they are going to have to work with the aboriginal delegates and as a result of that, we can reduce the imprisonment rates, we can increase the traces of children living beyond the lives that they do, improve the employment and education standards of aboriginal people, and, hopefully, in the next ten years, things can turn around for the better. we know that dozens of indigenous leaders walked out of this meeting that is going on there. this was a

one suggestion that's come from tasmania, is that they should be paid something like 3% of the nationalwhen those british settlers came. very difficult to know what level they'll stop, knowing that whatever they agree would also need to be put in a referendum and agreed upon by all australians. that issue of compensation has been a sticky point for many generations. australia is a wealthy country though but the indigenous population have high unemployment, high infant mortality, low education levels — many would argue that that compensation is desperately needed for those communities. absolutely. we are coming up to the anniversary of the 1967 referendum, the last big vote on indigenous affairs, when aboriginal and torres strait islander were brought under the protection of the commonwealth government, they were counted in the census, so they were considered to be australians. but they have remained the poorest australians. one problem many people may be aware of, is the stolen generation, the fact that some aboriginal children were taken away from theirfamilies. at the moment, aborigin

one suggestion from tasmania saying up to 3% of the national gdp should be paid in compensation to indigenousesting that this might go to a referendum — what is the feeling about some of these changes, are they likely to go through?m about some of these changes, are they likely to go through? it all comes down to what you ask in the referendum. this has been a long process , referendum. this has been a long process, it has political will behind, both the prime minister and the leader of the opposition say they want a referendum but they want to questions that the wider australian public as well as indigenous leaders can agree upon. how much further and how much political and financial strength will be behind it is the difficult thing, later we will see what ideas that will come to later today. the former us secretary of state, john kerry, took a shot at president trump on wednesday. when he suggested to harvard graduates that they should learn russian. in a speech to students, mr kerry said it was the secret to having an impact on the current white house. so what is actually the best language
