About Me

free file hosting

I am a Nunga from the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains, at present I am living in Nyungar country in Western Australia. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Social Work and hope to some day make a difference for my people. Social Justice is very high on my interest list. I am currently working part time assisting to transition prisoners back into society.I am a Christian woman who attends the Church of Christ. Jesus is so patient and kind to me, so generous and giving. He came and died for me, for the forgiveness of my sin.I am extremely proud of my 4 children, two girls and two boys. Raising them alone in the last nine years has certainly been a challenge, especially my adolescent sons. Its been difficult, but I am so happy with where they all are today. Happy & Healthy.
30th June 2007 We celebrated my daughter Yvonne's 21st birthday party in the Old Adelaide Gaol, at present these are the only pics I have of the event, please watch this space for more.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Noel Pearson Kevin RuddNot because of any kind of hero worship, believe me,no way. But because Id like to yarn with Pearson, am thinking maybe he might have a point perhaps. See I always thought he was a black capitalist, but Im thinking maybe I was wrong. There ya go I do say so if I think Im wrong. Im not quite convinced yet, but Id like to meet him.I was at a conference in Adelaide in September, after the dinner some of us ended up at the Casino. I was chatting to other fellow conference folk, a group in particular from Qld and I thought Id ask them about their opinion on Pearson, well shit all hell broke lose as they started arguing and I couldnt believe how it happened. My question "what do you think of Pearson?" was innocent. The reaction was incredible. A fight almost broke out, thats how emotional those Queenslanders are.Well I used to have written here that Id like to meet Howard so I could try to figure where he was coming from. But he is no more. So I guess now we have to wait and see what he will do now that he is the man in power. Quite weird considering his wife is a business owner. Well lets just wait and see....
