Also Stephen Hagan. It's 10 years since he began a legal battle to remove a sign he regards as racist from the Toowoomba Sports Ground.
The sign’s come down but he still has to foot the legal bills.

End to employment program
Breakfast. ABC Radio National, 14 September 2007 Audio Streaming, MP3
For the last 30 years, Indigenous Australians in remote communities have had access to the Community Development Employment Program, better known as CDEP. It's a scheme which employs locals on community projects. This week the CDEP will end, as part of the federal government's intervention policy in the Northern Territory. The government says CDEPs are outdated and will be replaced by a national 'work for the dole' scheme.
Remote communities have grave fears about the change, as Madeleine Genner reports.

Indigenous employment: what's working
Life Matters on ABC Radio National
Wednesday July 24 9am - 10am live with Richard Aedy (repeated at 9pm)
Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs Mal Brough says real jobs need to be created for Indigenous people as the CDEP (Community Development Employment Projects) program is rapidly dismantled. Next month in Alice Springs the Aboriginal Employment Strategy opens its doors in the Northern Territory. It's a non-profit organisation specialising in placing Indigenous people in jobs and providing training and mentoring. So far it's found jobs for nearly 1,000 people in NSW, where the organisation began ten years ago in Moree.

Aboriginal work for the dole axed
Life Matters on ABC Radio National
Wednesday July 24 9am - 10am live with Richard Aedy (repeated at 9pm)
The Federal Government has announced the next stage of its emergency response in remote Northern Territory aboriginal communities, by abolishing the CDEP employment programs. The government says the CDEP or Community Development Employment Projects will be replaced by "real jobs", training and mainstream employment programmes. Earlier this year the government announced the axing of CDEP programmes in urban and major regional areas, but said it would keep CDEP in remote communities because of the difficulty in getting jobs there. It's now reversed that decision, in a move that's been condemned by observers such as Professor Jon Altman from the Australian National University.

Beyond Indigenous Child Health Checks
Life Matters on ABC Radio National
Thursday July 5th 2007 (repeated 9pm)
9am - 10am live with Richard Aedy
Representatives of the Indigenous Doctors Association are meeting the Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott in Sydney this morning, to put their prescription for rolling out the child health checks in the Northern Territory.
The association's president, Dr Mark Wenitong, will tell the minister that regional indigenous health units should do the co-ordinating, and should orientate any health teams who come in.
He will also argue that the health checks will be meaningless without sustained back-up services for the longer term.
