Phil Usher
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
FIRST NATIONS FOUNDATION
FIRST NATIONS FOUNDATION
Taking a gamble to steady the ship as chief executive of First Nations Foundation, Phil Usher has turned it into a more secure, self sustaining entity, far better equipped to empower First Nations people to achieve financial prosperity. Andrew McKean writes.
There are fundamental porkies in all this:
1. No organisation of individuals commissions and publishes a survey that does not give the results that it paid for.
2. No one asked me or anyone that I know, 500 respondents only (what socio-economic group did this miniscule number come from?).
If true, where are the jobs going to come from anyway? Are we looking at a battle between the school leavers and old dears for these jobs?? A lot more explanation is required.
