        That is just another one to cross off the list as having any credibility. Do they not realise the damage they do to the cause?

        what should be 'burnt' are child molesters, partner beaters, elder ignorers, alcohol and drug abusers, idle layabouts who only exercise one organ. Why not tens of thousands marching against? Rent-a crowd hypocrisy

        The article says this woman is only a volunteer so all this ‘accepting taxpayers funding’ is just a beat up. Once again you are driving community division. Why do it? #auspol

        The headline doesn't say she accepted it as salary. If her organisation is using the funding to further their cause then she is 'accepting'

        The organization doesn’t share her views. The young woman is just a volunteer. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

        They have to say that don’t they ! If they don’t share her views why would they have an activist working for them that would damage their organisations reputation, and chances for funding. Will be interesting to she if she receives a You’re services are no longer required ph call

        Working for them? A volunteer you mean. She IS a young Koori so she is part of that organization’s community, like it or not.

        “Work” Well that is what she does is it not ? Or does she just sit on her arse ? A young Koori, what % does it take to be a “Koori”. To me she is 100% Activist.

        Appeaser and ignorant. Australia was settled as a "British" penal colony, not an Australian one. So who exactly should be held to account. they get 30 billion a year.
