Sharp as a box of rocks

There are many ways Awaye (ABCRN) this week could have handled its documentary on the Tiwi islands. Following from the people they interviewed and the data they uncovered, we could narrow Awaye's choice of how to cover the story down to two main angles. These would be:

1) The Tiwi islands are poised to gain increasing international capital investment in industries that will bring prosperity to the people, God's in his heaven and all is well.

2) The Tiwi islands have been targeted by big, absentee, white capital and the indigenous people are being fitted up for globalization and environment- and community-rooting industrialisation.

D'oh!
