This interview should go centre piece on this site. It is cutting to the bone and saying it straight.

They are the reality. The poverty of one town next to the indulgences of the nearby elites.

Yes, Michelle's and Gerry's question is the $64,000 question - Why do the Yindjibarndi remain poor?

What they said is what is the case.

Poverty nearby the greed of wealth.

Man is greedy and just shit.
