"Done is better than perfection" was something Beth and I heard on a podcast on Friday on our way camping that really resonated with us. Sometimes it's to easy to keep looking for that Holy Grail. If course is never attainable.
This morning on ABC Health Report with Dr.Norman Swan, Professor Fiona Stanley and Donna Ah Chee gave facts and figures on the health regime in Australia and in particular the Aboriginal peoples. How many ill thought through (maybe well intentioned) Government policies have led to poor health outcomes for our First Nations. Even providing flour and sugar on the Stations as a ration is believed to have contributed to the 6x increased likelihood of kidney failure in the long run.
I'd be interested to hear thoughts from both sides of the discussion. My thought is let's do something in the affirmative rather than wait for perfection.
Australians are soon to vote on changing the Australian Constitution in order to recognise First Nations people—a vote called the Voice to Parliament. The Voice has health implications and we discuss its importance.
