Sorry was the easy part
Michelle Grattan; 13/7/08
Kevin Rudd’s “community cabinets” have already been held in Perth, Brisbane, western Sydney and Mackay. On Wednesday week cabinet will make a very different excursion for its community meeting — to Yirrkala, near Gove in Arnhem Land. In Nhulunbuy invitation-only forums will be held on health and housing, education and employment, business and environment and infrastructure. The trip mixes symbolism and practicality, a duality marking the early days of Labor’s approach to indigenous affairs.
