@StevePriceMedia@AusTodayListnr We have lots of laws targeting first nations people, like the NT intervention or cashless welfare card. Having an ATSIC type body to advise on whether first nations actually want these things will help make policies effective. Paternalism doesn't work.
Hi @qgisau,
I'm trying to get QGIS into my small Australian Public Service agency. Our IT people would like to talk to anyone who has successfully battled the APS rules on this one, or works in an agency that has.
