The accessibility and quality of social services …what is provided may not be adequate.

They are not seeing the benefits of … the real benefits of the industry.

They say that, ‘we are living here, but we feel stressed’.  
They don’t speak much English.  
They come from the perspective of the workers - the seasonal workers.  
They say the biggest problem here is gambling …

They need the staff who can speak more than two languages.

Older generations are satisfied with everything here.  
They said, ‘we don’t have any problem’.  
But young generation - secondary school in age 16,
they don’t feel any sense of belonging in Robinvale.

For women, they are complaining about the signage.  
At the entrance to the town, they want to have signage, 
like directional so they can find the public services, the toilets, hospitals…

There seems to be a fundamental problem with investment in housing here.
There’s no shortage of space for housing. 
There’s actually not really a shortage of housing for sale.  
There seems to be shortage of housing that has a … housing investment that suits need.

The biggest thing was that Robinvale is a place that has,
like lots of hidden assets. 
It’s got lots of good assets like the river, its culture, its people…

Until there is some deeper recognition of Australia’s traditional owners, 
and that there is a real respect as a community - it’s hard to heal. 
Because of these conversations… [an idea] is having a history project, 
where maybe the university helps to identify and create an interpretive history,
and have that interpretative history throughout the town.

My observations from today, 
and what I have heard from people that I have known for a long time
who came to talk with you all, 
was that they are overwhelmed that you did something something
that the consultants they are used to having up here don’t do,
and that was actually listen.

We put a lot of trust into you guys,
and a lot of trust in the process
that I have been involved in over the last four years with uni,
that this would do exactly what it has done.
