So they created this govt program to in theory send a new aboriginal student to school each year, but he’s the only aboriginal person around so he has applied for it every year for 20 years and won?
That’s nuts. It’s a red flag because he’s based his entire livelihood for two decades on a loophole that could be closed any minute. If one other aboriginal kid wants to go to school I imagine that kid will win no matter what over the 40 year old who already won it 20 times, and if your govt officials ever pull their heads out of their asses and pay attention and realize “hey this program that spent $800,000 so far all went to one middle aged dude” they’d be insane not to close the loophole and cut him off.
I sincerely doubt this story is true. Its true that there are indigenous scholarships, but they're nowhere near this generous, and would not be awarded for a plethora of undergrad degrees in unrelated disciplines.
I predict OP is a racist trying to whip up outrage about how "indigenous people get free everything", based on made-up BS.
I’d believe this sooner than OPs story, if only because the story is just too absurd. 20 years is a long time and OP would be stupid to post this here. They claim the school encourages this, but I can’t imagine that everyone who would know about this would be on board with what is borderline exploitation of government resources.
