Navigating The Public Relations Maze To Maximise The Benefits Of ATLSEIP means Five Influencing Factors notes that journalist, Rachel Olding's, SMH's "Crying out for a new beginning" was the initial catalyst to the Writer commencing ATLSEIP.

 

Below are pertinent extracts from Ms. Olding's article regarding the need to consult with Various Authorities, Agencies And Not-For-Profits Involved With Children And Indigenous Australians In Isolated Country Towns to -

A.        maximize the scope of the Six Mentor Guidance Topics For Ten Regional Township Teams; and

B.        Agree The Final Format.

"Astonishingly, there are more than 50 organisations run by the state, federal or community in Bourke that receive millions of taxpayer dollars each year to address the town's problems.

A report released by the Ombudsman on Thursday found most were ineffective and lacked co-ordination.

A community member and child protection advocate Joan Dickson said most programs were formulated for Aboriginal people rather than with them, and were doomed to fail.

"Services are too frightened to integrate because regional directors and people above them want to retain their empires," she said.

State, federal and local governments have dismally failed the town of Bourke. Yet so has the town itself.

"I couldn't say there are leaders in Bourke because there are no role models," said a local foster mother, Lillian Lucas, 35. "We're a town that is so divided. We're not getting anywhere and I'm at the stage where I just want to leave."

The children at the Alice Edwards Village still have big dreams. Ernest wants to be a rugby league player; another, Ashley, dotes on his three-month old son, Zade.

They have grown up with an innate connection to the land and the chairman of the Bourke Aboriginal Community Working Party, Alistair Ferguson, said returning some of it would go a long way to helping young people.

One community member, who wished to remain anonymous, said the only way forward for Bourke was to start afresh with new approaches.

"I wouldn't live anywhere else than Bourke," she says.

"But as a group we just have to come back together and find a new place to start." "

Developing a public relations strategy that will successfully chart a course through the maze of public process, communications and political environments to implement ATLSEIP is patently vital. 

The two prime attributes of the Indigenous Principal's Representative to competently perform its Duties And Responsibilities on behalf of the Life Skills Philanthropic Service Movement are -

  • extensive experience in dealing with all three tiers of government in some of the Australian states; and

  • a strong interest in social policy issues, in particular health and equal opportunity.

Providing a précis on a CD of an 'advancing format of ATLSEIP to Various Authorities, Agencies And Not-For-Profits Involved With Children And Indigenous Australians and inviting written comments followed by a willingness to discuss with 'Responders' their written comments is optimal to -

A.        maximizing the scope of the Six Mentor Guidance Topics For Ten Regional Township Teams; and

B.        Agreeing ATLSEIP's Final Format.

 

How To Proceed With ATLSEIP notes how Life Skills Philanthropic Service Movement, Australian Broadcasting Corporation and/or SBS, after consultation with Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder, identifies the remaining 'hoops that need to be jumped through' to facilitate utilising the powerful Motivational Incentive Of RTV to deliver 'Aboriginal Teenager Life Skills' Programme under the Private Sector Philanthropic Administrator Model by approaching the CEOs' of Ten Corporate Sponsors to source Three Philanthropic Elder Colleagues each which ideally would included at least 15 Retired Elder Colleagues which comprise the Life Skills Philanthropic Service Movement:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Should Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder wish to 'Produce/Direct' any/all of the Four Proposed RTV Programmes, merit may exist in then informing journalist, Ms. Rachel Olding (SMH Office, Level 4, 1 Darling Island Rd, Pyrmont 2009), who wrote "Crying out for a new beginning" (the first of Five Influencing Factors) that the Minister for Indigenous Affairs supports 'Aboriginal Teenager Life Skills' RTV Early Intervention Programme, because positive/responsible promotion of ATLSEIP would further enthuse the 'Corporate Sector' of the merits of the Private Sector Philanthropic Administrator Model.
