I just watched the ‘Living Black’ episode, featuring Robert de Castella, and his ‘Indigenous Marathon Project’, which held no surprises/new revelations for me, as I know Deeks personally, and since 2010, I have had several discussions with him and key members of his crew about the the broad aims of the IMP. When you consider, that from 1788 until 1972, our forefathers did their best to extinguish the oldest and proudest race on the planet, and since 1972, our governments have thrown $billions at ‘Indigenous affairs’, and have failed to raise the standard of living in most indigenous communities above that of a poor 3rd world country(and an embarrassment to all Australians with a social conscious), what Deeks and his team have achieved since 2010, on a limited budget is nothing short of astounding. (you will need to view the program to appreciate the change which is happening in these communities, where the IMP has reached.) If you missed the program, it will be replayed next Friday(7th February 2014) afternoon on SBS Australia, so please check your local guide. But don’t just sit there on your hands applauding Deeks and his team, get involved, and there are lots of options on the webpage: imp.org.au/
